Samuel Goodenough (10 May [O.S. 29 April] 1743 – 12 August 1827) was the Bishop of Carlisle from 1808 until his death in 1827, and an amateur botanist and collector. He is honoured in the scientific names of the plant genus Goodenia and the red-capped robin (Petroica goodenovii). In addition, William Kirby's 1802 book on the bees of England (Monographia Apum Anglia), page 182, mentions, in Latin, that the cuckoo bee Nomada goodeniana (Gooden's Nomad Bee) is named after Goodenough with the following words:
A viro Reverendo S. Goodenough, LL. D. Canonico Windsoriensi, Botanico summo tum et in Entomologia lynceo, nomen suum haec Apis mutuatur.
