Samson (Cornish: Enys Samson) is the largest uninhabited island of the Isles of Scilly, off the southwestern tip of the Cornish peninsula of Great Britain. It is 38 hectares (0.15 sq mi) in size.

Samson was inhabited until 1855, when Lord Proprietor Augustus Smith removed the remaining population - the Woodcock and Webber families - who were malnourished due to a diet of limpets and potatoes .
