Klaus Esch is a German opera singer and actor who has performed Samson on Sesamstrasse from 1992 to 2010, with episodes featuring the character airing well into 2014.

Esch is the fourth and final performer of the character, following Peter Röders, Herbert Langemann and Matthias Bullach, respectively.

In opera, the imposing, bass-voiced Esch's credits include the cook in Prokofiev's Love for Three Oranges, Mozart's Kidnapping, and Verdi's Falstaff.
