Smolník (German: Schmöllnitz, Hungarian: Szomolnok) is a village and municipality in the Gelnica District in the Košice Region of eastern Slovakia (formerly — until 1920 — in Hungary, then called Szomolnok).

The village got its name after the stream Smolník. Slovak: smola – pitch, smolník – a settlement of people who collected pitch or lived in a forest where the pitch was collected. It belonged to a German language island. The German population was expelled in 1945.

Ancient copper mines from which three iron sulphates were first described as new minerals (rhomboclase, kornelite, and szomolnokite).
