Sam Benedict is an American legal drama that aired on NBC from September 1962 to March 1963. The series was created and executive produced by E. Jack Neuman.

Sam Benedict is based on real-life lawyer Jacob W. "Jake" Erlich, who served as technical consultant for the series.

To combat the problem of drug-dealing juvenile delinquents operating in racial gangs, two recent police academy graduates are sent to a local high school, posing as students. [Initially released in theaters in 1960 as "This Rebel Breed", it was re-released as "The Black Rebels" five years later, re-edited with the addition of a handful of dialogue-free scenes of youths making out in a bedroom, with partial female nudity.]
