Samuel L. Rose (December 19, 1818 – March 14, 1887) was an American lawyer, judge, and politician. He was a pioneer settler of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, and represented that part of the state in the Wisconsin State Senate (1856 & 1857) and State Assembly (1855). He later served as an Iowa circuit court judge and is the namesake of Rose Grove Township, Hamilton County, Iowa.
His name was incorrectly listed as "Solomon L. Rose" in several editions of the Wisconsin Blue Book. But all of the obituaries for Samuel L. Rose and the biographies of the Samuel L. Rose in Iowa are consistent with the biographies of the S. L. Rose who resided in Beaver Dam and served in the Wisconsin Legislature.
