Buckskin was a gentle Western television series starring Tom Nolan, Sally Brophy, and Mike Road that aired on the NBC television network from July 3, 1958, until May 25, 1959, followed by summer reruns in 1959 and again in 1965.

The show depicted life in fictitious Buckskin, Montana, in the 1880's as seen through the eyes of 10-year old Jody O'Connell, played by Nolan. Jody's widowed mother, Annie, played by Brophy, ran the town's boarding house. The lives of Jody and Annie played out against a landscape of a few townspeople and many strangers moving through. Another constant was Marshal Tom Sellers, played by Road, who tried to keep the peace.

The Buckskin theme song was composed by Stanley Morton and Mort Green.

The series ran on Thursday evenings at 9:30 Eastern from July to September 1958, Friday evenings at 7:30 from October 1958 to January 1959, and Thursdays again at 7:30 from January to September 1959. The 1965 reruns were carried on Sundays at 8:30.
