Samuel Augustus Mitchell (Bristol, SAD, 1790.[1]Philadelphia, 20. prosinca 1868.), američki zemljopisac, kartograf i izdavač koji je djelovao u Philadelphiji tijekom 19. stoljeća.

Rođen je u Bristolu, američkoj saveznoj državi Connecticut.[1] Karijeru je započeo kao školski učitelj,[1] a nezadovoljan greškama koje je pronalazio u udžbenicima i na zemljovidima od 1830-ih godina odlučio se izrađivati iste na svoju ruku. Zbog izuzetne pedantnosti ubrzo se profilirao kao jedan od najznačajnijih kartografa svog vremena. Izdao je nekoliko atlasa među kojima su neki tiskani i po 400.000 primjeraka godišnje. Nakon njegove smrti 20. prosinca 1868. godine obiteljski posao preuzeo je njegov istoimeni sin koji je izdavao zemljovide do kasnih 1880-ih godina.
