Vice-Admiral Sir Samuel Hood, 1st Baronet, KB (27 November 1762 – 24 December 1814), of 37 Lower Wimpole Street, London,[3] was an officer of the Royal Navy. He served as a Member of Parliament for Westminster in 1806.

He is not to be confused with his father's first cousin Admiral Samuel Hood, 1st Viscount Hood (1724–1816) who sponsored both him and his elder brother Captain Alexander Hood (1758–1798) into the Royal Navy.[4]
