Sam Kennedy (1899-?) was a Scottish association football forward who played in Scotland and the American Soccer League.

Following spells with Falkirk and Clyde in Scotland,^[1] in 1926 Kennedy signed with the Fall River F.C. of the American Soccer League, after Fall River center forward Harold Brittan moved to the New Bedford Whalers.^[2] In December, he briefly returned to Scotland when his young son became ill.^[3] In 1927, Kennedy began the season with Fall River, played one game, then was transferred to J&P Coats. In 1928, he was again transferred during the season, this time to the New Bedford Whalers. Despite the changes in team, he scored twenty-three goals (thirteen with Coats and ten with New Bedford), placing him sixth on the goals list.^[4] In 1929, he was back with J&P Coats, now known as the Pawtucket Rangers under new ownership. He played for the Rangers until 1931.
