Shemuel Sam Iduri (born in Boboilangi Village, Malaita,[2] 15 August 1949 - 23 January 2023[3]) was a Solomon Islands politician.
After studying at teachers' colleges in Solomon Islands and in Western Australia, he worked as a secondary school principal, then as education officer.
The following month, the newly installed government of Prime Minister Snyder Rini resigned in the face of public protests, and so as to avoid a motion of no confidence.
Iduri supported Rini's successor to the premiership, Manasseh Sogavare, and was appointed Minister for National Unity, Reconciliation and Peace in Sogavare's Cabinet - thus becoming the Minister in charge of facilitating national reconciliation in the aftermath of the ethnic conflicts of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The attempt was ultimately successful, and Derek Sikua replaced Sogavare as Prime Minister in late December.
