Frontier Doctor is an American Western television series starring Rex Allen that aired in syndication from September 26, 1958 until June 20, 1959.

Frontier Doctor followed the exploits of small town doctor, Dr. Bill Baxter, who rode in a buggy with his black bag and found more than his share of trouble as he came to the aid of people who crossed his path. Operating out of "Rising Springs" (which was looked after by Marshall Dunham, played by Robert Karney) he often found trouble with the patients he treated such as outlaws like Butch Cassidy.

Allen, a veteran Western movie actor and singer, knew the genre, but this series did not catch on with viewers, possibly as Baxter was a little too detached (thanks to Allen's bland delivery of his lines) for the audience, and was canceled after its first season.
