Sam Dolgoff (1902-1990) was an American anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist.

Dolgoff was born in Russia, moving as a child to New York City, where he lived in the Bronx and in Manhattan's Lower East Side where he died. His father was a house painter, and Dolgoff began house painting at the age of 11, a profession he remained in his entire life.

Sam joined the IWW in the 1920s remaining an active member his entire life, as he played a role in the anarchist movement since the early 1920s. He also was a co-founder of the magazine the Libertarian Labor Review (later re-named Anarcho-Syndicalist Review to avoid confusion with America's Libertarian party).

He was also a member of the Chicago Free Society Group in the 1920's, and co-founded the Libertarian League in New York in 1954. He wrote articles for anarchist magazines as well as books as the editor of the highly-acclaimed anthologies:Bakunin on Anarchy (1971; revised 1980); Ethics and American Unionism (1958); The Labor Party Illusion (1961); The Cuban Revolution: A Critical Perspective (1974); A Critique of Marxism (1983), and the Autobiographical Fragments (1986). The Anarchist Collectives: Workers' Self-Management in the Spanish Revolution, 1936-1939 (1974), and Fragments: A Memoir (ISBN 0946222045). He was also active in many causes, and attended groups like New York's Libertarian Book Club regularly.
