Lady Samantha is a British only compilation album by DJM Records of songs recorded by Elton John. Originally released in cassette and 8-track tape formats in 1974, the album featured rarities and B-sides from the earliest days of John's career. It would eventually be issued on vinyl in 1980 by DJM and finally on CD in 1988. (A remastered CD by PolyGram appeared in 1998.)

All fourteen songs were included on the 1992 compilation album Rare Masters.
