Samuel Arthur Cawley (November 29, 1858[1] – January 5, 1847[2]) was a farmer, merchant, miner, real estate and insurance agent and political figure in British Columbia. He represented Chilliwhack from 1909 to 1916 as a Conservative.

He was born in Brant County, Ontario, the son of Samuel Cawley and Isabella Falconer, and was educated there. Cawley came to British Columbia in 1878. In 1882, he married Emma Reeves. He farmed in the Chilliwack Valley until 1890, when he opened a hardware business in Chilliwack. He sold that business in 1896 and mined in the Harrison River area. Finally, Cawley returned to Chilliwack, where he established a real estate, insurance and mining business.[1] He ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the provincial assembly in 1907.[3] Cawley died in Chilliwack at the age of 88.[2]
