Banshee is an American action television series created by Jonathan Tropper and David Schickler that aired on Cinemax for four seasons from January 11, 2013, to May 20, 2016, comprising a total of 38 episodes. Set in the small fictional town of Banshee in Pennsylvania Amish country, the series' main character is an enigmatic ex-con (Antony Starr) who assumes the identity of Lucas Hood, the town's murdered sheriff, to hide from powerful crime lord Rabbit (Ben Cross). Imposing his own brand of justice, Hood attempts to reconcile with his former lover, Rabbit's daughter Anastasia (Ivana Miličević), who has herself adopted an assumed identity, married, and raised a family during Hood's incarceration. Hood struggles to maintain his new identity while still embracing crime alongside his partners Job (Hoon Lee) and Sugar (Frankie Faison) and coming into conflict with local kingpin Kai Proctor (Ulrich Thomsen).

The show, along with Strike Back, was one of Cinemax's first original series since Comedy Experiment and The Richard Belzer Show in the 1980s to early '90s. A 10-episode second season debuted in January 2014. Banshee was renewed for a third season that same month, which debuted in January 2015. In February 2015, the series was renewed for an eight-episode fourth and final season. The final episode aired on May 20, 2016.
