Sheikh Abdussamad Esfahani, (Persian: شیخ عبدالصمد اصفهانی‎), also spelled Abdul Samad, 'Abd al-Samad, or Abd-ul-Samad, was a famous Ilkhanid era Shi'ite Sufi of the 13th century.

Tomb of Abdossamad at the Jameh Mosque of Natanz, built in 1304CE.

After Abdussamad's death in 1299 CE, his disciple, the Ilkhanid vizier Zayn al-Din Mastaria, built a shrine in Natanz in his honor. The congregational (Jameh) mosque of Natanz was built around the tomb.
