Samuel Stanton (born 19 April 1994) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Dumbarton, on loan from Hibernian. He has also previously played for Cowdenbeath and Livingston, and represented Scotland at youth international level.
Stanton shares his surname with a famous former Hibs player, Pat Stanton, but is not related to him.
Stanton attended Broughton Primary and Trinity Academy, Edinburgh.
Stanton was a member of the Hibernian under-19 squad. He was promoted to the first team on 28 December 2011 when he was an unused substitute for the match against Inverness CT. He went on to make his first team debut aged 17 as a substitute against Rangers on 28 January 2012.
He signed a three-year contract with Hibs in September 2012. Stanton was loaned to Cowdenbeath in January 2013 and made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Morton. His stint at Cowdenbeath ended after just two appearances, however, as he suffered a knee injury that required surgery.
Stanton established himself in the Hibs first team during the second half of the 2013–14 season. He won the SPFL young player of the month award for February 2014. In April 2014, Stanton signed a four-year contract extension with Hibs.
On 8 January 2016, Stanton signed for Livingston for the remainder of the 2015–16 Scottish Championship season.
