Sam Muchnick (August 22, 1905 - December 30, 1998) was an American professional wrestling promoter from St. Louis, Missouri. He is often deemed as wrestling’s equivalent of Pete Rozelle (the forward-thinking commissioner who revolutionized the NFL), and he was instrumental in establishing the National Wrestling Alliance, which became the industry’s top governing body, in 1948. Muchnick served as the NWA's president from 1950 to 1960 and from 1963 to 1975. He operated the St. Louis Wrestling Club, one of the primary members of the NWA based in St. Louis, Missouri.
