Sivert Vause Samuelson (21 November 1883 in York, near New Hanover, Natal – 18 November 1958 in Durban, Natal) was a South African cricketer who played in one Test in 1910.

Samuelson was a tail-end right-handed batsman and an off-spin bowler who took five MCC wickets in an innings in his third first-class game and found himself in the Test team for the final match in the 1909-10 series, played at Newlands, Cape Town. He failed to take a wicket as England scored 417, with Jack Hobbs making 187. He batted at No 11 in both innings.^[1]

Samuelson played only one season of Currie Cup cricket for Natal, in 1910-11, taking 13 wickets in each of two matches and finishing with 41 wickets in the season at an average of less than 14 runs per wicket.^[2] But he then played only a couple more games the following season, and his only other first-class game was against MCC more than a decade later in 1922-23.
