Sam Goody is an American music and entertainment retailer, founded in New York City in 1951, named after its founder Sam "Goody" Gutowitz.

In 1976, the chain was purchased by Musicland. From 1990 to 1999, the chain traded in the United Kingdom. In 2006, Trans World Entertainment (parent of FYE) purchased Sam Goody from the administration of Musicland, and between 2007 and 2008, converted most of the Sam Goody stores to FYE stores.

As of November 2025, there is only one Sam Goody store left within the United States – in the Rogue Valley Mall in Medford, Oregon, which is owned by FYE owner, Doug Putman.
