Samuel Francis is a nationally syndicated columnist known for his opposition to mass immigration, illegal immigration, multiculturalism, and other controversial issues of the day.

A former Washington Times columnist, Francis was dismissed from that paper in 1995 for remarks he made before the 1994 annual meeting of the American Renaissance, a racialist organization run by Jared Taylor, which were deemed racist by the management of the Times. For many years the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, owned by Richard Mellon Scaife, was the only mainstream paper carrying his column but they dropped it in 2004 after Francis wrote a column complaining about implicit miscegenation in a television advertisement. The Anti-Defamation League branded Francis an advocate of well mannered white supremacy, but Francis and his defenders maintain that he is merely being persecuted for his politically-incorrect views.

Francis is an associate editor and book review editor of The Occidental Quarterly, a pro-Western journal edited by Kevin Lamb and sponsored by William Regnery. He also serves on the board of editors of Modern Age, a quarterly publication of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute that bills itself as "the principal quarterly of the intellectual Right" and which serves as an important outlet for the expression of paleoconservative views. Francis continues to write a syndicated column, makes frequent contributions to VDARE, and is a speaker at meetings of the American Renaissance and the Council of Conservative Citizens.
