Самјуел Батлер (4. децембар 1835 — Лондон, 18. јун 1902) је био енглески романописац и критичар на чије је стваралаштво снажно утицао боравак на Новом Зеланду. Најпознатији је по утопијској сатири Еревхон и постхумном роману Пут целог тела (објављен постхумно 1903. са значајним ревизијама и објављен у првобитном облику 1964. као Ернест Понтифек или Пут свог тела). Оба романа су остала у штампи од првог објављивања. У другим студијама испитивао је хришћанску ортодоксију, еволуциону мисао, италијанску уметност и направио прозне преводе Илијаде и Одисеје који се још увек користе.
