Rav Shmuel bar Yehudah (Hebrew: רב שמואל בר יהודה) was a Babylonian amora of the third generation, a pupil of Judah bar Ezekiel.

He was born to a family of converts, and studied under Rabbi Yehudah bar Ezekiel in Babylonia. He eventually traveled to the land of Israel to study under Rabbi Yochanan and Rabbi Elazar in Tiberias, after which he returned to Babylonia, bringing many teachings of the Amoraim of Israel to Babylon, particularly those of Rabbi Yochanan. It is mentioned that he also learnt from Rabbi Zeira and Rav Shmuel bar Rav Isaac, and in the name of Abba. The Amora Abaye also learned matters of Halachah with him.

His daughter died in his lifetime, and the sages, including Ulla came to console him.[1]
