Sam Tân (English: Fireman Sam) is a Welsh-British animated comedy children's series about a fireman named Sam, his fellow firefighters, and other residents in the fictional Welsh rural village of Pontypandy (a portmanteau of two real towns, Pontypridd and Tonypandy). The series premiered on September 15, 1987 on S4C in Wales, with the English dub on November 17, two months later, on BBC1. It ended on October 15, 1994 in Welsh and one month later on November 17 in English with four seasons and 33 episodes, including one Christmas special.

In 2005, the series was revamped, and in 2008, the series was switched to CGI.
