Sam Katzman (July 7, 1901 – August 4, 1973) was an American film producer.

Born in New York City, New York to a poor Jewish family, at the age of thirteen he went to work as a stage laborer in the fledgling East Coast film industry. He would learn all aspects of filmmaking and become a highly successful Hollywood producer for more than forty years.

Sam Katzman never made great film classics, instead he produced cost-effective productions that made money for the studios and the financial backers. He is noted for numerous Western films of the 1940s and early 1950s and the fifteen-episode Superman
serial of 1948. At MGM Studios in the 1960s, Katzman produced several Elvis Presley films and singer Roy Orbison's only film, The Fastest Guitar Alive
.

Katzman kept working right up to the time of his passing at the age of seventy-two. He is interred in the Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery in Culver City, California.
