Samuel Allen Hutton is an Irish former international rugby union player.

Educated at Belfast Royal Academy, Hutton was a strong, mobile prop, who played his rugby with Malone. He was only 19-year of age when he earned his first Irish trial and won all four of his Ireland caps in 1967, debuting in the Five Nations match against Scotland at Murrayfield.[1] His final cap came in a win over the Wallabies in Sydney and during the same trip he memorably kicked a drop-goal in a tour match.[2]

Hutton immigrated to South Africa in 1975.[3]
