Samuel Dumoulin (born 20 August 1980) is a French professional road bicycle racer who rides for AG2R La Mondiale. Dumoulin has been a professional since 2002, for the Jean Delatour team. At the end of 2003 he moved to AG2R Prévoyance before riding for Cofidis. Dumoulin left Cofidis at the end of the 2012 season, after five seasons with the team, and signed a two-year contract with Ag2r–La Mondiale for the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
Dumoulin rode as an amateur for the TCCT (Tonic cyclo club of Ternay). He won the national youth championship in 1996, then the éspoir (young professional) Paris–Tours and Paris-Auxerre in 2001.
He dropped out of the 2004 Tour de France when he crashed after hitting a dog. Recovery took him four months and he did not race for the rest of the season. In 2008 he won the third stage after a breakaway of nearly 200 km, beating William Frischkorn and Romain Feillu.
