Samuel Barker (May 25, 1839 - June 26, 1915) was a Canadian parliamentarian and lawyer.
Barker was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Hamilton, Ontario in the 1900 federal election after an unsuccessful attempt four years earlier. He was re-elected as the MP for Hamilton East in 1904 and remained in office for a total of almost fifteen years before dying in office at the age of 76 after wining four consecutive elections.[1]
He was appointed to the Queen's Privy Council for Canada on February 28, 1913 on the recommendation of Prime Minister Robert Borden.
