Samarès Manor is a manor house in the Vingtaine de Samarès, in the parish of St. Clement in Jersey, and is the traditional home of the Seigneur of Samarès.

The oldest part of the house is the crypt dedicated to Saint Martha, dating from the 13th century.[1] The chapel which once stood above the crypt is no longer present.

The present gardens were first created by Sir James Knott in the 1920s.

On the 12 June 2009, the manor's grounds were used by the BBC as a location for filming an episode of Antiques Roadshow.
