Sam Wakim (born 13 February 1937 in Saint John, New Brunswick) was a Progressive Conservative party member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was a lawyer by career.

Wakim earned his undergraduate degree at St. Francis Xavier University, where he met future prime minister Brian Mulroney. The two became close friends ("The Politics of Ambition", by John Sawatsky, 1991).
