Samad Allapitchay (born 1950) is a former Singapore national football team captain who played for National Football League sides Geylang International and Tampines Rovers, and the Singapore Lions in the Malaysia Cup as a centre-back.
Samad was known as a hard-tackling, no-nonsense defender with a penchant for bulldozing his way from defence to attack. He was once dubbed "The Rock of Gilbratar" by his national team coach Mick Walker.
Samad is married to Norizan Aljunied. His youngest son is Tampines Rovers and Singapore international defender Shariff Samat.
