Manoir de la Masselinée ou des Samsons stands in Saint-Martin-de-Mailloc (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

This fifteenth-century manor stands on a hillside in the Pays d'Auge, overlooking the Orbiquet valley near Saint-Martin-de-Mailloc. Its timber-framed main building grew through two later extensions, giving the whole a composite outline of corbelled gables and half-timbering. Several outbuildings - a barn, a cider press, a stable - remain scattered around the house, testifying to its farming past.
