Samuel Abraham Poznański or Shemuel Avraham Poznanski (Lubraniec, 3 September 1864–­1921) was a Polish Reform rabbi and scholar, known for his studies of Karaism and the Hebrew calendar.

He graduated from the gymnasium of Warsaw and studied at Warsaw University and the Hochschule für die Wissenschaft des Judenthums in Berlin.
