Samuel Todd Francis (April 29, 1947 – February 15, 2005), known as Sam Francis, was an American paleoconservative, iconoclastic anti-capitalistcolumnist, nationally syndicated in the United States. He was known for his controversial views on immigration, multiculturalism, miscegenation, and his debates on public issues. His supporters characterized him as a conservative and a realist; his critics, a reactionary and a racist. Francis was also a leading political theorist of paleoconservatism and outspoken critic of neoconservatism; among his better-known stances was his view that the Iraq War was illegitimate.
In 1986, Francis joined the editorial staff of The Washington Times as an editorial writer. He served as deputy editorial page editor from 1987 to 1991, as acting editorial page editor from February to May 1991, and as a staff columnist through September 1995. Francis received the Distinguished Writing Award for Editorial Writing of the American Society of Newspaper Editors in both 1989 and 1990. He was a finalist for the National Journalism Award (Walker Stone Prize) for Editorial Writing of the Scripps Howard Foundation in 1989 and 1990. His twice-weekly column was nationally syndicated through Creators Syndicate. In addition to his journalistic career, Francis was an adjunct scholar at the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Auburn, Alabama.
