Simson of Samson (Hebreeuws: שמשון, Sjimsjon, "zonnig" of "kleine zon") was volgens Rechters 13-16 in de Hebreeuwse Bijbel een rechter van de Israëlieten. In tegenstelling tot de andere rechters gaf hij niet zozeer leiding aan de Israëlieten, maar voerde wel met de hulp van JHWH strijd tegen de Filistijnen. Hij behoorde tot de stam Dan. Zijn vader heette Manoach.
