Aston Villa recently parted company with Steve Bruce.
Villa are on the lookout for a new permanent manager following the dismissal of Steve Bruce earlier this week.
Former Villa defender Warnock has suggested that he would like Brentford boss Smith to take charge of the Villans.
The former Liverpool and Leeds United defender has also said that Sam Allardyce would be a great candidate for the Villa managerial role.
Eurosport quotes Warnock as saying: “Sam Allardyce is capable of getting a club of Villa’s size out of the league and do well, but then how long would he last for?
“I think he would be a great candidate for the job, but I think Villa fans would prefer someone who will promote a more attractive style of play.
“Personally, I’d like to see Dean Smith there, I think he’d be a great appointment. When you look at the amount of money he’s been given compared to other managers in the league, he’s done brilliantly.
“The style of football they play is superb, they tore Villa to pieces at Villa park a couple of weeks ago.
“And he’s also a Villa fan, so he’d go into the club with a lot at stake and a lot of heart.”
Meanwhile, Ian Taylor has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to Villa’s defeat to Millwall.
The Villans suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of the Lions away from home at The Den in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
The defeat means that Villa are now 15th in the Championship table with 15 points from 12 matches.
