Henry Floyd Samuels (1869–1948) was an American attorney, politician, mining executive, and farmer.

His family moved to Crawford County, Indiana when he was three years old, and he attended high school at Leavenworth.

Although Samuels beat the Democratic candidates in both elections, he was ultimately defeated in both by Republican Charles C. Moore.

In 1926 Samuels won the Progressive United States Senate nomination, again bested the Democratic nominee (John F. Nugent), but lost to the Republican (Frank R. Gooding).
