Samuel López Jareño (born 1 February 1970) is a Spanish tennis coach.

In 1990, López helped Antonio Martínez Cascales found the Equelite Academy (later renamed the Ferrero Academy) in Alicante. He continued to work with Cascales as part of the coaching team of Juan Carlos Ferrero.

López later coached players including Guillermo García Lopez, Santiago Ventura, and Mariusz Fyrstenberg.

López began coaching Pablo Carreño Busta in November 2015, helping him capture seven ATP Tour singles titles and reach a career-high ranking of World No. 10.

López parted ways with Carreño in December 2024, when it was announced he would be joining former World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz's coaching team to work alongside head coach Ferrero. He had previously stood in to coach Alcaraz at the 2024 Australian Open, while Ferrero recovered from knee surgery.
