Samuel Elisée Bridel-Brideri (28 November 1761 in Crassier, Vaud – 7 January 1828) was a Swiss-German bryologist.
He studied at the University of Lausanne, and at the age of 19 began work as a tutor to the princes of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg.
In 1804, he was appointed Geheimer Legationsrath to the Privy Council, and later on, he worked as a librarian in the city of Gotha.
He was the author of an important work on mosses titled Muscologia recentiorum (1797-1803), of which several supplements were issued in the ensuing years.
The genus Bridelia was named in his honor by German botanist Carl Ludwig Willdenow (1765-1812).
