Albert Henry Naismith (13 November 1917 – 14 June 1981)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Naismith was a forward, used in the pockets and at centre half-forward.[2] An Alphington recruit, he was the leading goal-kicker for Hawthorn on two occasions, with 30 goals in 1938 and 25 goals in 1940.[3]
His brother Herb Naismith played for Collingwood, as did their maternal uncle Alf Dummett. They were sons of Wally Naismith, a premiership player at Fitzroy (the club where Wally's twin brother Charlie also featured in the VFL).
Naismith later played for Oakleigh, as a full-forward.[4]
