Smarta (Dewanagari: स्मार्त; IAST: Smārta ) atau Smarta-sampradaya adalah aliran ortodoks atau sekte Hindu yang digagas kaum brahmana yang mengikuti Sanmata.[1][2] Istilah Smarta digunakan untuk merujuk kepada golongan brahmana tertentu yang mahir tentang smerti, atau yang mengakui smerti sebagai teks paling sahih.[3]
Pada umumnya, umat Smarta memuja Tuhan dalam enam wujud: Ganesa, Siwa, Sakti, Wisnu, Surya, dan Skanda. Karena aliran ini menerima segala dewa-dewi Hindu yang utama, aliran ini dikenal sebagai Hindu liberal atau non-sektarian. Umatnya mengikuti jalan filosofis dan meditasi, yang menekankan persatuan manusia dengan Tuhan melalui kesadaran.[4] Aliran ini tidak terlalu bersifat sekte sebagaimana Waisnawa atau Saiwa, dan menganut asas keyakinan bahwa Brahman adalah prinsip tertinggi dalam alam semesta dan meliputi segala sesuatu yang ada.[5][6][7]
