Sir Samuel Hoare, 1st Baronet (7 September 1841 – 20 January 1915),[1] was an English Conservative Party politician. He sat in the House of Commons from 1886 to 1906.

Hoare was the great-grandson of the Quaker Samuel Hoare, one of the twelve founding members of the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. He was educated at Bayfield Preparatory School, Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] He undertook two tours of the Mediterranean and Middle East between 1862 and 1865.[3] He lived at Sidestrand Hall, Sidestrand, Norfolk.

At the 1885 general election he unsuccessfully contested North Norfolk.[4] He was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Norwich at a by-election in April 1886,[5] and retained the seat until he stood down at the 1906 general election.[6] He was created a baronet in 1899.[7]

Hoare married Katherine Louisa Hart Davis (1846-1931); they had seven children, including the Conservative politician Samuel John Gurney Hoare, Viscount Templewood.
