Samuel Franceys of Liverpool (1762–1829) was a late 18th- and early 19th-century English sculptor and stucco-worker.
He was from a family of stucco-workers. His father Samuel Franceys had done the stucco work in Melbourne Hall in Derbyshire.
In 1802, with his younger brother Edward Franceys, he established the "Marble Rooms" in Liverpool. This appeared to be a studio where they trained other sculptors, including John Gibson and William Spence. It was also a showroom for sale of marble monuments and chimneypieces.
In 1819, he went into partnership with William Spence.
He died in Liverpool on 20 May 1829, leaving no known family, and was buried in the Wesleyan Chapel on Brunswick Street.
