Samuel Dickson (1776 – 28 October 1850)[1] was an Irish Peelite politician.[2][3]
After unsuccessfully contesting Limerick City in 1830, Dickson was first elected MP for County Limerick at a by-election in 1849—caused by the removal of William Smith O'Brien who had been found guilty of high treason—but died in office the following year.[3][4]
He was a member of the Union Club.[3]
