Samuel Storey, Baron Buckton

Samuel Storey, Baron Buckton (18 January 1896–17 January 1978), known as Sir Samuel Storey, 1st Baronet, from 1960 to 1966, was a British Conservative politician.

Storey was the son of Frederick George Storey and his wife Mary Dagmar "née" Hutton, and was educated at Haileybury and Trinity College, Cambridge. After graduation, he became a barrister in the Inner Temple in 1919 and joined Sunderland Brough Council in 1928. He was elected as the town's MP in 1928 (a post his namesake grandfather had held from 1881–95 and briefly in 1910), which he held until 1945, and joined the East Riding of Yorkshire County Council in 1946. In 1950, he was elected MP for Stretford and during his tenure was Chairman of the Standing Committees and Temporary Chairman of the Committees of the House of Commons in 1957 and Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means from 1965–66. He was created a baronet in 1960 and left the Commons in 1966 when he was given a life peerage as Baron Buckton, of Settrington in the East Riding of the County of York.

Lord Buckton died in January 1978, aged 81. The life barony became extinct on his death while he was succeeded in the hereditary baronetcy by his son Richard.
