In Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series, Smyrno is a planet, capital of the Smyrno Prefect in the Anacreon Province. It was one of four prefects in the Anacreon Province that rebelled against the Galactic Empire c.50 F.E. The planet itself is located 50 parsecs (163 light years) from Terminus.

Hober Mallow, one of the major characters from the Foundation Series, was a Smyrnian. In Mallow's time, most Smyrnians preferred short jackets.

The planet's name is an obvious parallel with Smyrna, a remote but important city of the Roman Empire, consistent with the Roman Empire-Galactic Empire parallelism of the Foundation trilogy.
