Sam Togwell, born October 14, 1984, is an English football player, he is currently on the books of Barnsley wearing the number 7 shirt. He is a no-nonsense, hard tackling defender or midfielder of whom great things are expected in the future at Oakwell.

He started out at Crystal Palace, and made his league debut in 2004, before having successful loan spells at Northampton and Oxford. He made a couple of appearances in the Carling Cup for Palace, whilst also captaining Palace's then high-flying Reserve team (who fell down the table soon after Togwell's departure) but never played in the league for the Eagles, after he went on loan to Port Vale, where he impressed hugely, winning the club's "Young Player of The Year" award.

Togwell returned to Palace, though Vale did make an offer for him, which was deemed too low a fee, and was rejected, but his tenure at Palace did not last much longer, as he was involved in the deal that took Scott Flinders the other way, in the summer of 2006. Togwell made his League debut for Barnsley on August 5, 2006 against Cardiff City.
