Sampson Clarke was a stationer and bookseller active in London during the late sixteenth century, with documented addresses at the Guildhall (1584), the Royal Exchange (1589), and in the parish of St Sepulchre (1589). He was freed of the Stationers' Company on March 26, 1583, and admitted to the livery on July 1, 1598.

CLARKE (SAMPSON), bookseller in London, 1583-98; (1) By the Guildhall, 1583; (2) Behind the Royal Exchange, 1589-91. This Stationer was made free of the Company on March 26th, 1583, by George Buck { BUCK, George ‹ LBT 07017 › } and William Broome { BROOME, William ( - 1591) ‹ LBT 08226 › } [Arber, ii. 687). His first book entry was made on November 4th, 1583, and related to Thomas Lodge's Tryed experiences of worldlie abuses (i.e., An Alarm against Usurers) [Arber, ii. 428]. He also dealt in ballads. Sampson Clarke was one of tbe defendants in the suit brought in 1585 by the assigns of Richard Day { DAY, Richard (1552 - ) ‹ LBT 07331 › } against certain stationers for unlawfully printing and selling The A B C and Litell Catechism [Arber, ii. 791, 792). He was admitted to the livery on July 1st, 1598 [Arber, ii. 873]. Amongst his publications in 1591 was the play entitled The First and Second Part of the troublesome Raigne of King John of England, which a later publisher ascribed to Shakespeare.
