There are several well-known people (and even a fictional character) named “Sam Mitchell,” so the answer depends on which one you mean. I’ll cover the main possibilities people usually search for.

Quick Scoop

1. Sam Mitchell – Australian rules football (AFL)

  • Full name: Sam Mitchell (Australian former Hawthorn star, now coach)
  • Reported birth date: 12 October 1982
  • Reported age: 42 years old (as of late 2024 / early 2025–26 seasons)

So if you are asking “how old is Sam Mitchell?” and you mean the ex-Hawthorn midfielder/coach from the AFL, the public sources list him as 42 years old right now.

2. Sam Mitchell – former NBA player / coach

  • Full name: Sam Mitchell (NBA forward, ex-Timberwolves/Raptors coach)
  • Reported birth date: 2 September 1963

That makes him about 62 years old in 2025–26.

3. Sam Mitchell – EastEnders character

There is also a fictional Sam Mitchell in the British soap EastEnders (Peggy Mitchell’s daughter).

  • Fictional birth date in the show: 13 May 1975

Within the story timeline that would make the character around 50 years old in 2025, but this is an in-universe age, not a real person’s age.

If you tell me which Sam Mitchell you mean (AFL player/coach, NBA figure, or EastEnders character, or someone else), I can lock in a single, clear age for that person.
