Samuel Huntington by James Barton Longacre is an engraving that depicts Samuel Huntington (1731–1796), a prominent American statesman and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. James Barton Longacre (1794–1869), the artist behind the engraving, was an American engraver and coin designer, most notably recognized as the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 1844 until his death.

The engraving is part of a series of portraits of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, which Longacre produced for the Biographical Sketches of the Signers of the Declaration of American Independence, a book written by his friend and colleague, Benjamin J. Lossing. The series was an ambitious project that aimed to preserve the likenesses of the nation's founders for posterity, at a time when the young nation was keen on establishing its historical narrative and honoring its founding fathers.

In the portrait, Huntington is typically depicted in a dignified pose, reflecting the conventions of portraiture of the era. Longacre's work is characterized by its attention to detail and its effort to convey the personality and stature of the subject. The engraving not only served as an important historical record but also as a means of disseminating the images of the American founders to a wider public, as engravings could be reproduced more easily than paintings.

James Barton Longacre's engravings, including the one of Samuel Huntington, are significant for their historical and artistic value. They provide insight into the early efforts of the United States to document and venerate its founding figures, and they showcase the skill and craftsmanship of one of the country's early masters of engraving. The Samuel Huntington engraving remains a testament to both the legacy of Huntington as a statesman and to Longacre's enduring impact on American numismatic and portrait art.
