St Sampson is a civil parish in the Restormel district of mid-Cornwall, United Kingdom.
Formally known as the parish of Golant. It is bounded on the north by Lanlivery, on the east by the river Fowey which separates it from St Winnow, St Veep and Lanteglos, on the south by Fowey, and on the west by Tywardreath.
Golant is a pleasant little village on the west bank of the Fowey river.
The small church has a holy well by the south porch and is dedicated to St Sampson, by whose name the parish is usually known.
Castle Dore in the parish is believed by some historians to be the site of the palace of King Mark, legendary king of Cornwall.
