Samuel John Atlee (1739 – November 25, 1786) was an American soldier and statesman from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress for Pennsylvania from 1778 to 1782.
Born in Trenton in the Province of New Jersey, Atlee moved with his mother to Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1745. Educated by a private tutor, he subsequently commenced the study of law before abandoning it to join the British Army and fight in the French and Indian War. In 1776 Pennsylvania began raising new units for the Continental Army, and on March 21, 1776, Atlee was named Colonel of a unit, the Pennsylvania Musketry Battalion. Captured by the British at the Battle of Long Island, Atlee was held as a prisoner until October 1, 1778, when he was exchanged.
