[FIN] Samppalinnan maauimala on Turussa Samppalinnanpuistossa sijaitseva, arkkitehti Abel Sandelinin suunnittelema maauimala. Maauimala valmistui vuonna 1955 ja vihittiin käyttöön vuonna 1956.
Tämä kaupungin omistama maauimala on hyvin suosittu ja auki kesäaikaan. Sen betonista tehdyssä hyppytornissa on tasanteet kolmelle eri korkeudelle: 10m, 7,5m ja 5m. Tämän lisäksi on hyppytornin kummallakin sivustalla kaksi ponnahduslautaa. Niiden korkeudet ovat 1m ja 3m.

Ajoittain on hyppytornista järjestetty eritasoisia kilpailuja sekä hyppyesityksiä. Samppalinnan Maauimala on ainoa Turussa oleva ulkoaltaaseen erikoistunut hyppypaikka. Samppalinnan maauimala suunniteltiin alun perin vuoden 1952 Helsingin olympialaisten uimalajien suorituspaikaksi. Uimalajit kisattiin kuitenkin muualla.

Uima-altaan koko on 50 metriä ja sen syvyys hyppytornin kohdalta 4,5 metriä. Vesi on lämmitetty 27 celsius asteeseen. Pieni lastenallas löytyy kanssa. Vuosittain Samppiksessa käy noin 100 000 kävijää.
