Samuel Ernest Brooks (28 March 1890 – 13 January 1960) was an English footballer who spent the majority of his career with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Brooks was born in Brierley Hill, and played local non-League football before he joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in July 1909.

Despite their poor league form, the club put together a series of results in the FA Cup and went on to reach the final.

Brooks won a runners-up medal in the 1921 FA Cup final after a 1–0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.

Brooks signed with Tottenham Hotspur in 1922, having scored 53 goals in 246 league and cup appearances in total for Wolves.
