Jocelyn Samson (born August 4, 1978), known professionally as JD Samson, is an American musician, producer, songwriter and DJ best known as a member of the bands Le Tigre and MEN.

Samson grew up in Pepper Pike, Ohio, and attended Orange High School.

Samson came out as a lesbian at age 15 and is well known for their support of both LGBT and feminist causes.

Samson joined Le Tigre in 2000 when co-founder Sadie Benning left the band before the album Feminist Sweepstakes was recorded.

Samson had previously worked as the band's projectionist and slide-show operator during live performances in support of their first record, Le Tigre.

The self-proclaimed "underground electro-feminist performance artists" combined visuals, music and dance in their performances.
