Samuel Bischoff (11 August 1890 – 21 May 1975), was an American film producer who was responsible for more than 400 full-length movies, two-reel comedies, and serials between 1923 and 1964.
Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Bischoff graduated from Boston University, then headed for Hollywood, where he began his career in 1923 by producing comedy shorts. He drew the attention of Columbia Pictures head Harry Cohn, who hired him to supervise the studio's feature film productions. In 1932, he moved to Warner Bros., but returned to Columbia in 1941. His last film was the The Strangler (1964).
Bischoff died in Hollywood.
