Samuel Feake was an eighteenth-century administrator who served with the English East India Company. He held significant colonial appointments in India, most notably serving as the President in the Bay and as the Governor and Commander-in-Chief for Fort William. He was officially appointed as the Governor of Bengal for the United East India Company on January 12, 1718, succeeding Robert Hedges in the role.
Feake remained in office as Governor until January 17, 1723. Following his tenure, he returned to England due to ill health. He lived for several decades after his return, passing away on June 16, 1757. His legacy continued through his son, Charles Feake, who became a prominent English physician and a Fellow of the Royal Society.
