The special has been written by David Renwick, who created the series originally. The show last ran on BBC1 five years ago.
In the one-off, master of illusion Creek, played by Davies, is called to investigate mysterious disappearances in a gothic house.
Smith will play Joey Ross, a sceptic who assists Creek in his attempts to unravel the mystery.
BBC controller of comedy commissioning Lucy Lumsden said: “We’re delighted to have Jonathan Creek back on BBC1 and with the addition of Sheridan Smith we should be in for a real treat.”
The show was commissioned by controller of BBC fiction Jane Tranter.
