Samuel Hinds (23 December 1793 – 7 February 1872), was a British clergyman. He was appointed Bishop of Norwich in 1849 and resigned in 1857. Hinds was of the Anglo-Catholic persuasion. He had strong links with the Ngati Kuri (Wai262) and Te Patu tribes of New Zealand, noting a paramount Maori chief Rata Ngaromotu of Ngati Kahu and the colonisation of New Zealand and the town of Hinds, New Zealand is named after him.
Hinds was born in Barbados. His father, Abel Hinds, was a member of a family who were amongst the earlier settlers and chief land proprietors of that island. They had made their money from the sugar plantations there. He was educated at Charterhouse School and The Queen's College, Oxford and obtained the Chancellor's prize for the Latin essay in 1818. He was appointed Dean of Carlisle in 1848 before being appointed Bishop of Norwich in 1849. He resigned his Bishopric in 1857. He died in Notting Hill, London in 1872. His estate was valued at c.£60,000 for probate.
Hinds served as assistant curate to the Revd. Henry Handley Norris at St John, Hackney before becoming principal of Codrington College Grammar School in Barbados (1822–23). From 1827–31 he was Vice Principal of St Alban Hall, Oxford and in 1831 became Principal of Codrington College, Barbados. From 1831–33 he was Chaplain to Richard Whately, Archbishop of Dublin before being appointed Vicar of Yardley, Hertfordshire in 1835. In 1843 he was appointed Prebendary of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, and incumbent of the united parishes of Castleknock, Clonsilla, and Mulhuddart. From 1845 he was once again chaplain to Whately, and also to the Earl of Bessborough, and the Earl of Clarendon when Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
