Samuel "Magic Sam" Gene Maghett (14 de fevereiro de 1937 – 1 de dezembro de 1969) foi um influente músico de blues estadunidense. O nome artístico Magic Sam foi criado pelo baixista e amigo de infância de Sam, Mack Thompson, na primeira sessão de gravação de Sam para o Cobra, como uma aproximação de "Maghett Sam". O nome que Sam estava usando na época, Good Rocking Sam, já estava sendo usado por outro artista.
