Samuel Barrington (1729 – 16 August 1800) was a British admiral.

Samuel was the fourth son of John Shute Barrington, 1st Viscount Barrington of Beckett Hall at Shrivenham in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire). He entered the Royal Navy at the age of 11, and by 1747 had been promoted to post captain. He was lucky in his connections and lucky to join the Navy at the right time, and he also proved to be a good officer.
