Deborah
No, Samuel was not the last judge of Israel.
Judg:4:4: And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Samuel was the last judge Israel who anointed Saul and later David as King. Samuel had the unique position of being prophet, judge, and priest.
A judge, who happens to be a female, is still a 'judge' a modern term that is gender neutral.
