Samri Frikell (January 22, 1893 - May 24, 1952) was the pen name of (Charles) Fulton Oursler, an American journalist, writer and amateur psychic investigator.

He made the pseudonym by combining the names of Samri Baldwin and Wiljalba Frikell.

Oursler had many friends among magicians and would attended S. A. M. Parent Assembly shows and functions of the Magician's Guild. He was especially close with Ching Ling Foo, Long Tack Sam, Carl Rosini, Houdini, Hardeen, Nate Leipzig and Thurston.

With Thurston he ghosted two souvenir books and worked on a movie project, but nothing came of it.
