Samuel Ampzing (24 June 1590 – 29 July 1632) was a Dutch minister, poet and purist.

In 1617, he began writing a description of Haarlem in poetic form, aided by Petrus Scriverius.

As a foreword to this book, Ampzing wrote a dissertation on the Dutch language, in which he also wrote about the rules of rhetoric; this foreword was also sold separately in 1628 under the title ""Taelbericht der Nederlandsche spellinge" ("Treatise on Dutch spelling").

Later, he also wrote an extra "Laurel Wreath to Laurens Janszoon Koster" at the end of it.

The book includes some plates by Willem Outgertsz Akersloot after designs by Pieter Saenredam and Jan van de Velde: Apart from the historical importance of his writing, his poetry was not considered quite lyrical, but it was striking in its groomed linguistic usage.
