Raden Samsoeddin (1 January 1908 – 15 October 1950) was an Indonesian lawyer and politician. He was active during the late colonial and early independence period, being a member of the Volksraad and the Investigating Committee for Preparatory Work for Independence during the early 1940s, along with serving as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Information during the late 1940s. He was also the first Indonesian mayor of Sukabumi between 1944 and 1946 and the first Ambassador to Pakistan. Originating from Sukabumi, Samsoeddin studied as a lawyer and received his master's degree from Leiden University before returning to Indonesia. He practiced law and was active in the colonial government and politics during the late Dutch period, before joining various Japanese-sponsored organizations during the occupation, notably the 3A propaganda movement which he co-founded and led in 1942. He then joined the Masyumi party after Indonesian independence, and was appointed minister in several cabinets until shortly before his death in October 1950.
