Samuel "Sam" Parkin (born 14 March 1981) is an English former footballer who played as a forward for Chelsea, Millwall, Wycombe Wanderers, Oldham Athletic, Northampton Town, Swindon Town, Ipswich Town, Luton Town, Leyton Orient, Walsall, St Johnstone, Queen of the South, St Mirren, and most recently Exeter City in League Two.
Parkin started his career at Chelsea as a trainee. For first team experience he was loaned out.
Parkin joined Millwall on loan during the 2000–01 season. He scored four goals in seven appearances for the Lions. He then joined Wycombe on loan later in the 2000–01 season. At Wycombe, Parkin scored perhaps the most important goal in their history, when he headed in the winner against Wolverhampton during Wycombe's run to the semi finals of the FA Cup. However his loan had finished and he returned to Chelsea denying him a chance to play in the quarter or semi finals. He scored two other goals for Wycombe, including one in the Football League Trophy against Leyton Orient. Parkin also played on loan for Oldham Athletic during the 2000–01 season. He scored three goals in seven appearances for the Latics.
