Samuel M. Sampler (January 27, 1895 – November 19, 1979) was a United States Army soldier who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during World War I.

During an attack near Saint-Étienne-à-Arnes, France, on October 8, 1918, his company's advance was halted and they took heavy casualties from a German machine gun nest.

Sampler single-handedly charged the hostile position and silenced it with hand grenades, killing two German soldiers and capturing 28.

[3] Sampler's official Medal of Honor citation reads: His company having suffered severe casualties during an advance under machinegun fire, was finally stopped.

Armed with German handgrenades, which he had picked up, he left the line and rushed forward in the face of heavy fire until he was near the hostile nest, where he grenaded the position.
