Sam Bard Treiman (May 27, 1925 - November 30, 1999) was an American theoretical physicist who produced important research in the fields of quantum physics, plasma physics and gravity physics. He was a Professor of physics at Princeton University, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group. He was a student of Enrico Fermi and John Alexander Simpson Jr. Treiman published numerous articles on quantum mechanics, plasmas, gravity theory, condensed matter and the history of physics.

He graduated from Northwestern University for his undergraduate work and received a PhD from the University of Chicago in 1952. He began teaching at Princeton in the 1950s and was appointed Higgins Professor of Physics there. His best known student at Princeton was Steven Weinberg, recipient of the Nobel Prize in physics in 1979. Other well known students are Curtis Callan and Stephen L. Adler, both of the class of 1964.

As a member of the National Academy of Sciences and JASON Defense Advisory Group, he was a key advisor to the U.S. Government in the fields of plasma physics, physics education and strategic planning.

He died of leukemia on November 30, 1999.
