Ambrose Arthur Samson (1897 – after 1922) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham.[1] He played as a goalkeeper.

Samson was born in Measham, Leicestershire, and began his football career with Measham Town before joining Birmingham in 1922.[2] He made his debut in the First Division on 3 March 1923, deputising for Dan Tremelling in a game at Preston North End which Birmingham won 3–2. Tremelling's form restricted Samson to two appearances that season,[3] at the end of which he returned to non-league football with Burton Town.[2]
