Samuel Webbe (1740 – 25 May 1816) was an English composer, organist, and glee writer, best known for his vocal compositions, particularly glees and catches.

Born in London (or possibly Minorca), Webbe was largely self-taught, with some instruction from Johann Karl Kytch. He supported himself as a music copyist while studying theory and composition.

A devout Roman Catholic in an era of penal laws restricting the faith, Webbe's career centered on embassy chapels—legal havens for Catholic worship. In 1776, he became organist at the Sardinian Embassy Chapel, later also serving the Portuguese Embassy Chapel.

His output included masses, motets, anthems, glees, catches, and canons. The glee "Glorious Apollo" remains his most famous secular work, highlighting his prominence in the late 18th-century English glee movement.

As a Catholic composer, Webbe contributed significantly to reviving Roman Catholic liturgical music in England. His sacred collections, including A Collection of Motetts or Anthems (1792) and masses for small choirs (1795), were widely used. His hymn tune "Melcombe" endures in both Catholic and Anglican hymnals.

Webbe also composed keyboard pieces and published nine books of glees. An esteemed teacher skilled in counterpoint and vocal writing, he influenced many musicians.

He died in London in 1816. Today, Webbe is remembered for his melodic charm, harmonic interest, and part-writing in both secular and sacred music, leaving a lasting legacy amid religious challenges.
