Lt. Colonel Samuels is a fictional character on the series Stargate SG-1 played by Robert Wisden. He played the role of General George Hammond's executive officer and first appeared in the series premier Children of the Gods. He was sent to bring Jack O'Neill out of retirement so he could confirm the destruction of Abydos.

Samuels was exceedingly cautious about the Stargate and sought to have the gate shut down with SG-1 offworld. He appeared in the episode "Politics" alongside Senator Robert Kinsey. The two arrived to force Hammond and SG-1 to justify the continued operation of the Stargate program. Kinsey decided to shut down the program.

After learning of the impending attack on Earth by Apophis' force, Samuels returned to the SGC to happily inform Hammond of the Pentagon's plan to defend Earth using naquadah enhanced nuclear weapons. Samuels had great faith in the plan believing it would succeed. When it failed he requested relocation offworld to the Alpha site. His request was denied by Hammond. Fortunately, SG-1 saved the planet. Samuels replaced as Pentagon liaison by Major Paul Davis.
