Jamile Samuel (born 24 April 1992) is a female Dutch athlete sprinter, who specialises in the 100 and 200 metres. She won three bronze medals at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Athletics, thus establishing herself as the third-fastest female runner under the age of 20 in the world.

Jamile Samuel first came into the Dutch spotlight as a fifteen-year-old when breaking her club record. By the age of sixteen she was the 60 metres sprint champion in the Netherlands.

At the 2010 World Junior Championships in Moncton Jamile Samuel finished behind the British athlete Jodie Williams in both the 100 m and 200 m sprints.
One year later, at the 2011 European Athletics Junior Championships in Tallinn, Samuel once more finished behind 100 and 200 m sprints winner Jodie Williams, this time however winning the silver medal in both cases.
