Samuel Warren (23 May 1807 - 29 July 1877), was a British barrister, novelist and MP.
 
Passages from the Diary of a Late Physician, by Warren but initially published anonymously, was a series of sensational tales, fictional case histories, published first in Blackwood's Magazine from August 1830 to 1837. It was hugely successful. The frame story to the series is of "early struggles" of a young medical man, and has been taken to contain embellished autobiographical material. In the preface to fifth edition (1855) was Warren's statement that "I was six years actively engaged in the practical study of physic."
