Samuel Jackson Randall (October 10, 1828 – April 13, 1890) was a Pennsylvania politician, attorney, soldier, and a prominent Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives during the late 19th century. He served as the 33rd Speaker of the House and a contender for his party's nomination for the President of the United States in two campaigns.

Samuel J. Randall was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was a member of the common council of Philadelphia and a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate. During the Civil War, he served as a member of the First Troop, Philadelphia City Cavalry in 1861 for three months, and again as a captain in 1863 during the Gettysburg Campaign. He served as Provost Marshal at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, under Maj. Granville Haller in the days before the battle, and had the same role at Columbia, Pennsylvania, during the battle of Gettysburg. He served in the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat from Pennsylvania from 1863 to his death. From 1876 to 1881, he served as the Speaker of the House and played a prominent role in establishing Democratic Party policy. He was considered for the Democratic presidential candidacy in 1880 and 1884.

Randall died in Washington, D.C. while still in office. His remains were conveyed to Philadelphia and interred in the Laurel Hill Cemetery.
