Samuel Angus (27 August 1881 – 17 November 1943) was professor of New Testament and Church History at St Andrew's College in the University of Sydney from 1915 to 1943.

Angus was born near Ballymena, County Antrim, Ireland, the eldest son of John Cowan Angus, farmer, and his wife Sarah, née Harper. He studied at the Collegiate School, Ballymena, and won a scholarship to Queen's (University) College, Galway, receiving a B. A. in 1902 and an M. A. in 1903. Angus then studied at Princeton Theological Seminary and Princeton University, gaining his PhD in 1906. He was appointed as a chaplain of the Scotch Church in Algiers, before being elected to St Andrew's College, University of Sydney in 1915. Angus was later acquitted of these charges after an investigation conducted by the Juridical Commission of the Church. Angus rejected many of the core traditional Christian beliefs, including the doctrine of the Trinity, the Biblical inspiration, the virgin birth and bodily resurrection of Christ. Angus earned an M. A. at Queen's College, Galway, and a second M. A. and a PhD from Princeton University. He attended Princeton Theological Seminary, but did not complete a degree. He held a lectureship at Hartford Theological Seminary from 1906 to 1910 and another in Louisville, Kentucky in 1912. Angus served as Visiting Professor of Education at Columbia University from 1929 to 1931. Angus also spent some time as the Curator at Nicholson Museum in Sydney.

Angus married Katherine Duryea in 1907; they had no children.
