Ian Sampson (born November 14, 1968 in Wakefield) is an English former footballer.

In his playing days he was a central defender, beginning his professional career in 1990 when Sunderland signed him from non-league Goole Town. He only made 21 appearances in four years however, before joining Northampton in 1994 after a successful loan spell. He played for the Cobblers for 10 years, making 449 appearances, before retiring in 2004. He had a brief loan spell at Tottenham in 1995, featuring in their makeshift squad for the Intertoto Cup.

He is a first-team coach at Northampton, and was appointed as joint caretaker manager on December 20, 2006, following the resignation of John Gorman^[1].

On January 2, 2007, Northampton announced that former Southampton boss Stuart Gray had been appointed as the new manager on a 2 and half year contract, with Sampson and fellow caretaker Jim Barron staying on as first team coaches.
