It is a second WTA 1,000 title for the 29-year-old world number three.
World number 18 Samsonova faced a tough task to win the final after she finished playing little more than two hours earlier in her rain-delayed semi-final against third seed Elena Rybakina, which she won 1-6 6-1 6-2.
The victory caps off a strong week for Pegula, who beat world number one Iga Swiatek in the semi-finals
In winning her first title of the year, Pegula has become the first American to lift the Canadian Open trophy since Serena Williams in 2013.
