Samuel S. Wineburg (born 1958) is an American educational and cognitive psychologist. He is the Margaret Jacks Professor of Education and, by courtesy, of History & American Studies emeritus at Stanford University.

Since the 1990s, Wineburg has been a leading figure in research on historical thinking and the teaching and learning of history.^[1]^[2]^[3] Wineburg's work has proved foundational in establishing a "heuristic" stream of research on historical thinking which seeks to close the gap between the critical and interpretive work of historians and the fact-based work of students.^[4] Wineburg's more recent work has focused on how individuals evaluate the reliability of digital information.^[5]^[1]
