Samuel Armes (30 March 1908 – 27 August 1958) was an English footballer who played at outside right.
He started his Football League career with Carlisle United before joining Chester and Blackpool.
Armes joined Wigan Athletic in 1934, and scored twice in the club's 6–1 win against his former club Carlisle United in the first round of the 1934–35 FA Cup, a record margin of victory for a non-league side over a Football League team in the competition. He went on to score 20 goals in 47 Cheshire League games before being signed by Leeds United during the 1935–36 season.
He died in Sunderland on 27 August 1958, and his funeral took place at Dawdon Parish Church.
