Samuel Stephens (c 1768 – 25 February 1834)[1] was a politician in Cornwall. He sat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom in two periods between 1806 at 1820.

He served as High Sheriff of Cornwall for 1805 and then at the 1806 general election was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for St Ives,[2] where he was re-elected in 1807[3] and held the seat until the 1812 general election, when he did not contest St Ives.[4]

He was re-elected for St Ives at the 1818 general election,[5] and held the seat until the next election, in 1820.[1][4]

He was the son of a previous MP for St Ives, Samuel Stephens.
