Sampson Walker (March 25, 1843 – March 7, 1933[1]) was an English-born businessman and political figure in Manitoba. He represented Winnipeg North from 1903 to 1907 in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Conservative.

Born in Cheddleton, England,[2] Walker came to Winnipeg with his family in 1882.[3] He first worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway and then went into business on his own. Walker served as a member of Winnipeg city council in 1891. In 1903, he formed the Walker Oil Company[2] which became part of the Canadian Oil Company in 1904.[3] He served as Western Manager for the latter company until his retirement in 1905.[2]

Walker died in Winnipeg at the age of 89.[1]

The Turner-Walker Block, which he built in 1912, has been declared a municipal heritage building by the city of Winnipeg.[2]
