Dr. Samuel Gibson Dixon (28 March 1851 - 26 Feb 1918) was the Commissioner of the State Department of Health in Pennsylvania from 1905 until his death

Dr. Dixon was born in Philadelphia, attended private schooling, and went on to graduate with honors from the University of Pennsylvania in 1866. He attended medical school at both King's College London and Pettenkofer's Laboratory of Hygiene in Munich.

His work in tuberculosis prevention is what brought him the most recognition however, with a tuberculosis facility being named after him.
