"The Reverend Mr. Samson Occom" is a notable portrait by the English artist Mason Chamberlin, painted in 1766. The painting is a significant historical artifact as it depicts Samson Occom (1723–1792), a member of the Mohegan nation and one of the first Native American preachers during the period of early American history. Occom was a prominent figure who played a key role in Christianizing the indigenous peoples of New England and advocating for their rights. He was also instrumental in the founding of Dartmouth College, initially established to educate Native Americans.

Mason Chamberlin, a founding member of the Royal Academy, was known for his skillful portraiture, and this work is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. The portrait of Occom is particularly important as it represents the intersection of Native American history and the broader religious and cultural movements of the 18th century. The painting shows Occom dressed in a black coat and waistcoat, a white shirt and stock, which reflects his adoption of European attire as a Christian minister, while also symbolizing the broader cultural assimilation and adaptation among Native Americans during the colonial period.

The portrait is not only a work of art but also a document of historical significance, offering insight into the complexities of identity, culture, and religion in the context of colonial America. It serves as a visual record of an influential Native American figure who navigated the challenges of his time with resilience and determination. The painting is held in various collections and has been displayed in several exhibitions, contributing to the understanding of the early history of the United States and the role of indigenous people in shaping it.
