Smrek obyčajný (Picea abies) je ihličnatý strom z čeľade borovicovité. Je to najrozšírenejší strom na Slovensku a významná lesná hospodárska drevina. Na rozdiel od jedle bielej, ktorá má ploché a vykrojené ihlice, smrek obyčajný má hranaté a špicaté ihlice. Obrastajú celý konárik.

Picea abies, the Norway spruce or European spruce, is a species of spruce native to Northern, Central and Eastern Europe. It has branchlets that typically hang downwards, and the largest cones of any spruce, 9–17 cm long. It is very closely related to the Siberian spruce (Picea obovata), which replaces it east of the Ural Mountains, and with which it hybridizes freely. The Norway spruce has a wide distribution for it being planted for its wood, and is the species used as the main Christmas tree in several countries around the world. It was the first gymnosperm to have its genome sequenced. The Latin specific epithet abies means “fir-like”.
