Roslinda Samsu (born 9 June 1982 in Padang Terap) is a Malaysian pole vaulter. She is a four-time defending champion at the Southeast Asian Games, and a silver medalist at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar. She won the bronze medal at the 2005 Asian Athletics Championships in Incheon, South Korea, but nearly missed out of the podium at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia. She was also able to clear her personal best of 4.20 metres to capture the gold medal at the 2007 Asian Athletics Championships in Amman, Jordan.
Roslinda represented Malaysia the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, after reaching a qualifying mark of 4.30 metres in both the indoor and outdoor meets. She competed in the women's pole vault, an event which was prominently dominated by Russia's Yelena Isinbayeva. Roslinda cleared the bar in the preliminary rounds, with her seasonal best distance of 4.30 metres, tying her position with Australia's Alana Boyd, in eighth place for the group, and in sixteenth overall.
