'''Konstantinos Smolenskis''' was a [[Greece|Greek]] military figure of the [[Greco-Turkish War (1897)]].

Smolenskis was born in [[1842]], the son of a Hungarian [[Philhellenism|Philhellene]] who came to Greece in [[1825]] to fight in the [[War of Independence]]. He studied in military schools in Belgium, France and Germany and was commissioned an officer in the Greek Army.

During the [[Greco-Turkish War (1897)]], his 3rd Brigade was the only unit that recorded a victory against the Turks, twice repelling them from [[Velestino]]. This earned him the respect of the general public, who had very little to cheer about in those days, but the jealousy and enmity of Crown Prince [[King Constantine I|Constantine]] whose command of the Greek forces during that war had proved a total disaster.

Smolenskis died in [[1915]].
