St Sampson's Church, Grade I listed church building in Cricklade, England.

The church displays heraldic carvings, including The Bear and Ragged Staff emblem of the Earls of Warwick, reflecting medieval English nobility.

The bell chamber contains six bells with one of the longest draughts in England, making it a notable feature among church towers.
