No, the muscles in your leg are skeletal muscles. Smooth muscle is found for example in vessels and the gastrointistinal tract.

Yes smooth muscles are involuntary, which means they contract and relax without our conscious decision for them to do so, however we have control over when we want to move our leg muscles, so it cannot be smooth muscle, they are as said before my answer, quite rightly, skeletal muscles
