Samuel Goldwyn, ursprungligen Szmuel Gelbfisz (jiddisch: שמואל געלבפֿיש), under en tid även känd som Samuel Goldfisch, född 27 augusti 1882 i Warszawa i Polen, död 31 januari 1974 i Beverly Hills, Kalifornien, var en amerikansk filmproducent. Han invandrade till USA via England 1895. I USA fick han namnet Goldfish. Han bildade tillsammans med Edgar och Archibald Selwyn företaget Goldwyn Pictures och tog sedan själv namnet Goldwyn. Hans lustiga uttalanden har fått en egen benämning, "goldwynismer", såsom: A verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.Include me out.What we need now is some new, fresh clichés.Why did you name your son John? Every Tom, Dick and Harry is called John. 1971 tilldelades han den amerikanska Frihetsmedaljen.
