JD Samson (born August 4, 1978) is an American musician, producer, songwriter and DJ best known as a member of the bands Le Tigre and MEN.

Samson grew up in Pepper Pike, Ohio and attended Orange High School. She came out as a lesbian at age 15 and is well known for her support of both LGBT and feminist causes. Samson graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 2000 with a degree in film.

In 2010, Samson served as a judge at the 9th annual Independent Music Awards.

Samson joined Le Tigre in 2000 when co-founder Sadie Benning left the band before the album Feminist Sweepstakes was recorded. Samson had previously worked as the band's projectionist and operator of the band's slide show during live performances in support of their first record, Le Tigre. The self-proclaimed "underground electro-feminist performance artists" combined visuals, music and dance in their performances. Samson's contributions to Le Tigre include the song "Viz", which deals with her experiences as a member of a sexual minority, and "New Kicks" which contains excerpts of a protest that Samson recorded.
