Sir Samuel Tuke, 1st Baronet (c.1615, Essex – 26 January 1674, Somerset House, London) was an English officer in the Royalist army during the English Civil War and a notable playwright. He is best known for his 1663 play The Adventure of Five Hours, possibly co-authored by George Digby - the play (an adaptation of a Spanish work by Antonio Coello) was produced by the Duke's Company and later proved an influence on Richard Brinsley Sheridan's opera The Duenna.
