Brian Sampson (born 17 June 1935) is a retired Australian racing driver.
Sampson had a long career throughout the 60s and 70s, which he still continues as a hobby. Sampson was a mainstay of the Australian Motor Industries-Toyota Team at the Bathurst 500 from 1965 to 1970, winning Class A in 1969 in a Corolla.
