Samu Stern (5 January 1874 – 1946), in Hungarian usage Stern Samu, was a businessman, banker, advisor to the royal court, and head of Hungary's Neolog Jewish Community.
After the March 1944 German occupation, Stern was a member of the German-created Jewish Council (Judenrat, Zsidó tanács) along with Orthodox Community leader Pinchas Freudiger.
Although Stern supported Jewish causes, he received criticism for dealing willingly with the German occupying authorities and their Hungarian collaborators.
