Samuel Richards (March 8, 1769 – January 4, 1842) was an American businessman and ironmaster. He was heavily involved in the New Jersey iron industry during the early 19th century, starting with his family's iron business in Batsto Village, New Jersey, where he apprenticed under his father, William Richards. Richards would eventually come into ownership of Weymouth Furnace and Martha Furnace in 1808, in addition to the Atsion Iron Works in 1822. His half brother, Benjamin Wood Richards, became mayor of Philadelphia.
