Sam Houston is a statue of Sam Houston by Elisabet Ney, originally modeled in 1892.

Two carvings exist: one installed in 1903 in the Texas State Capitol, and the other installed in 1905 as one of the two statues from Texas in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. In each case it is accompanied by a second statue, Stephen F. Austin, also by Ney and produced in parallel.[2]
