Laura Samuel (born 19 February 1991) is a British track and field athlete who competes in the triple jump.

Born in Leicester,[1] she became involved in athletics while at primary school becoming interested after local coaches visited the pupils there.

In 2009, she switched to the triple jump and this immediately brought her higher up the national rankings: she won the English schools title, came fourth at the senior British Athletics Championships, and set a personal best of 12.98 m (42 ft 7 in).

[5] Samuel won the British triple jump title indoors and outdoors in 2011, and also made her debut on the IAAF Diamond League circuit, placing seventh at the London Grand Prix.

At the British Championships outdoors she was beaten into second by Yamilé Aldama,[6] bringing an end to Samuel's four-year streak at the national event.
