Sam Ashworth Tingle (24 August 1921 – 19 December 2008) was an English-born racing driver from Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe.

Tingle was born in Manchester, United Kingdom, and made his Formula One debut on 28 December 1963.

Tingle was one of only two drivers from Rhodesia to successfully enter a Formula One race, the other being John Love. A third Rhodesian racer, Clive Puzey, failed to qualify in his Formula One attempt. He died in Somerset West, South Africa, aged 87.

He won the National Rhodesian Championship five times from 1959 to 1964 and the Border Trophy in 1966.
