Sampson Lennard (c. 1544 – 20 September 1615), of Chevening in Kent, was an English Member of Parliament who represented an unusually large number of different constituencies during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I.

Lennard married Margaret Fiennes, daughter of Thomas Fiennes, 9th Baron Dacre, and after her brother's death in 1594 he successfully claimed the barony on her behalf, so that she became the 11th Baroness Dacre.

[1] They had thirteen children, and their younger son, Sir Henry Lennard, succeeded his mother as 12th Baron Dacre, "leaving [Sampson] Lennard to watch him enjoying the title while more land was sold to pay off debts".

[1] Sampson Lennard is buried at St. Botolph, Chevening, Kent, England
