Marlon Nathaniel Samuels (born February 5, 1981 in Kingston, Jamaica) is a West Indian cricketer.
Samuels made his Test debut in Australia in 2000, and his one day international debut against Sri Lanka in Nairobi in the same year.
He is primarily a batsman, gaining his maiden Test century in Kolkata but his sense of balance and off-spin have claimed a number of useful wickets. He has struggled with a knee injury recently, being forced to fly home from the tour of Australia in late 2005.
