Crutchlow, who finished third in Argentina in April, told reporters at a MotoGP preview event on Wednesday that he had extended his contract for two years with the Italian-based LCR Honda team.
"I am very pleased to be with Honda again, they have worked very hard for me this year and it's nice to have some consistency with a manufacturer," said the Briton, who has ridden for three different manufacturers in three seasons.
Smith, currently fifth in the championship and the highest-ranked Briton, announced separately a new one-year deal keeping him at the French-based Tech3 Yamaha team for a sixth season.
"Over the last two GPs it's been quite mentally taxing with a lot of meetings and back and forth. So to have my mind a lot clearer now going into these last seven races puts me in a good position," he said.
