Samuel D. Heins (born May 31, 1947) is the former United States Ambassador to Norway, serving from 2016 to 2017. The wait for confirmation of a new ambassador by the United States Senate led to the Embassy being without a Senate-confirmed Ambassador for 29 months. He succeeded Barry B. White, who had resigned the position in 2013.
