Samuel Fisher Lafone (Liverpool, 1805 – Buenos Aires, 1871) was a British-born Uruguayan businessman.

Lafone developed an important economic activity in Montevideo and Argentina.[1] He established a settlement at Hope Place on the southern shores of Brenton Loch, Falkland Islands, in 1846.[2]

His name is closely linked to the development of La Teja neighbourhood (where today a square is named for him).[3]

He was a decisive promoter of the creation of the Anglican Holy Trinity Temple in Montevideo.[4]

He died in Buenos Aires.
