Samuel Hulme Day (29 December 1878 – 21 February 1950), known as Sammy Day, was an amateur sportsman who played first-class cricket for Kent County Cricket Club and association football for Corinthian F.C.. He made three international appearances for the England football team as an inside forward.

Day was born in Peckham Rye in Southwark, the son of Sydney and Evelyn Day. His father was a wine merchant. Day attended Shirley House School in Blackheath and Malvern College before going up to Queens' College, Cambridge. He was the older brother of Sydney and Arthur Day, both of whom also played first-class cricket for Kent.

Day was captain of the Malvern College cricket team in 1897 and 1898. He made his first-class cricket debut for Kent County Cricket Club whilst still at school, scoring a century in his first match against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham, an achievement his Wisden obituary describes as "a unique feat". He continued playing for Kent whilst at Cambridge University where he attended Queens' College, graduating in 1902.

Day played 32 times for Cambridge University, captaining the side in 1901. He played in four Varsity matches, scoring 117 not out in 1902, and was awarded his cricket Blue in his first year. He scored a total of 1,631 runs for the university, hitting two centuries.
