Only a Dirty Coward would shoot someone in the back. Or knife them.
Back-to-Back Badasses is to prevent this — provided the other character is trustworthy.
On the other hand, if they can't let you escape, and you are the Dirty Coward fleeing a fight, it may happen anyway, particularly up against a Combat Pragmatist. It also doesn't apply to Tap on the Head, which is non-lethal and not seriously dangerous — fictionally. If the blow can seriously injure or kill, however, it is a different story.
When The Dog Bites Back, this often comes into play.
It does not necessarily apply to executions, or when the Big Bad decides to turn his back on The Hero in order to stab a hostage. If a Heroic Bystander shoots a villain in the back, it will most likely be considered, well, heroic, which may or may not be just justified by the villain threatening someone else's life.
Sometimes employed as an unceremonious end to what is otherwise a badass famous character — a staple of westerns.
May go hand-in-hand with I Surrender, Suckers.
Compare Back Stab for a video game special move based on this trope. This trope is for narrative uses. If a gameplay mechanic is involved, please move to that trope. Can be used as Dynamic Entry, in which case a Surprisingly Sudden Death usually ensues. Beware Backstab Backfire.

Cowboy Bebop (2021). A flashback episode to when he was a hitman for the Syndicate has Spike (who's supposed to be the hero of the series) exiting a Bad Guy Bar where he just killed everyone single-handed only to find a woman, an apparently Innocent Bystander, staring at him. She assures Spike that she didn't see anything and he tells her to flee, only to shoot her in the back as she's running away. That killing is shown to haunt him years later in the present day.

In one issue of the Secret Six comics, Deadshot and Catman have an argument about this that ends with Catman insisting that Deadshot walk in front of him on all future missions. Given Deadshot's particular skillset, personal history, and belief that a surprise headshot is the kindest way to kill someone, it's not a terribly unreasonable demand.

In the Nibelungenlied, Hagen spears Siegfried in the back while Siegfried is drinking water from a spring during a hunt. This also happens in most other versions of the Siegfried story. Of course, since Siegfried's one vulnerable spot happens to be on his back, it's not so much cowardly as it is reasonable.

In Bleach, it's actually recommended procedure for Shinigami to attack Hollows from behind. This is a mixture of pragmatism and a desire to avoid feeling guilt upon seeing the Hollow's human face.
When Squad 6 come to arrest Rukia in the Agent of the Shinigami arc, Ichigo tries to intervene and fights the Squad 6 lieutenant Renji Abarai. Just as Ichigo is winning, captain Kuchiki Byakuya Flash Steps in from behind and breaks Ichigo's sword. As Ichigo turns to face him, Byakuya Flash Steps again behind Ichigo, stabbing him in the back right through his heart, ending the fight and leaving Ichigo to die. In a show where most fights last several episodes, this one is over in seconds. In fact, it all happenes so fast that Ichigo is on the ground before he even knows that he's been attacked. (Renji reveals that this is Byakuya's favorite attack for minor opponents. In their Heroic Rematch it doesn't work so well.)
A weird example happens with Starrk and Wonderweiss. Turning up behind the man, Wonderweiss puts his hand through Ukitake's chest, causing Kyoraku to go for him by flash-stepping behind the "kid". However, before Wonderweiss gets hit, Starrk takes advantage of the distraction to shoot Kyoraku in the back. Kyoraku, being a fine Combat Pragmatist himself, later returns the favour.
Soifon, Shunsui Kyoraku, Toshiro Hitsugaya, and Shinji Hirako team up on Aizen, whom Hitsugaya successfully stabs in the back. Sadly, that wasn't really Aizen, but Hinamori, his best friend, placed under an illusion. Luckily, she lives long enough to receive medical treatment.
After Ginjo reveals his true colors and steals his Fullbring, Ichigo is stabbed in the back, seemingly by Isshin and Urahara. It's actually Rukia who's stabbing him, in order to restore Ichigo's Shinigami powers.
Askin is defeated by Grimmjow when the latter impales his chest from behind with his hand while in his Resurrección and tears out his heart.
After Aizen uses himself as a decoy, Ichigo exploits the opening to attack Yhwach from behind.

CSI: NY:
In "Officer Blue", a mounted policeman is shot this way by a sniper while astride his horse.
In "Pay Up", where the bar the CSIs are sitting in is shot to bits. It's mainly a result of the villain shooting anywhere and everywhere with some kind of automatic weapon and Danny, who was sitting closest to the window anyway, having thrown himself over Lindsay to protect his wife, leaving his back exposed.

El Diablo: Naive cowpoke Billy Ray (Anthony Edwards) protests that the grizzled gunslinger Van Leek (Louis Gossett Jr.) shot a man in the back. Van Leek responds, "His back was to me." Later, it gets an Ironic Echo when Billy Ray does it to the eponymous Big Bad, as Van Leek gives the line, and Billy Ray shrugs and replies as Van Leek did earlier in the film. Van Leek chuckles.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon:
How Ironhide is killed: shot in the back by Sentinel Prime.
In an Ironic Echo, the perpetrator of the above example is himself shot in the back by Megatron. He doesn't die, but is crippled enough for Optimus to finish him off with a headshot right after decapitating Megatron in the space of 5 seconds... while missing an arm.

In Spider-Man: No Way Home, the Green Goblin manages to stab his universe's Spider-Man when he's distracted. And this is after he just saved the Goblin from being killed by MCU Spidey, so this is purely a Kick the Dog moment. Fortunately, the act doesn't kill him.

Philo Vance: The Casino Murder Case: The murderer is holding Philo Vance and district attorney John Markham at gunpoint. After shooting Vance, he tells Markham that since Markham is "only a cop at heart", he would shoot Markham in the back. Markham refuses to turn around. Vance was Playing Possum after switching the murderer's bullets for blanks, hoping The Cavalry, a.k.a. the NYPD, would kill the murderer and save everyone the hassle of a trial. It works.

Very strangely applied in Dial M for Murder. Margot stops the hitman trying to strangle her by grabbing a pair of scissors and, instead of sticking them in one of the dozen or so really good places to stab somebody who's right in front of her, decides to laboriously reach all the way around and plunge them into his back instead. It's probably safe to blame this one on the Hays Code.

The End of Evangelion:
There's a scene where a JSSDF commando sneaks up on a NERV gate guard, grabs him by the face, and pushes a knife into his back. It's quite horrifying, as you see the guard arch his spine, groan, and then go limp.
In another scene we see one gun down NERV staff whilst they're running away from the JSSDF with their backs turned.

This happens regularly in Knights of the Old Republic Cinematic Universe:
In Hunger for the Force, Visas Marr kills Darth Secuulus by impaling him from behind.
In Knights and the Darkness Pt. I, Hanharr kills Saquesh by stabbing the unsuspecting Quarren in the back.
In Knights and the Darkness Pt. II, Scourge kills Meetra Surik by stabbing her from behind, and then he injures Vitiate by striking the Sith Emperor in the back, and following a monologue, kills him by stabbing him from the front. And then he finishes off Revan as well by cutting him down from behind. All of this turns out to be just a vision of Meetra who proceeds to impale Scourge from behind for real to foil his backstabbing plans.
In the premiere of Shadow of the Sith, Emperor Vitiate is assassinated in this fashion by Bao-Dur of all people.

World of Warcraft:
The Back Story of Alexandros Mograine features this. His son Renault was persuaded to lead him into a trap — a hopeless fight against wave upon wave of undead. Because he was such a badass, he killed them all — but when he took a breather afterward, and let go of his sword, Renault came out of hiding and stabbed him with it.
Orgrim Doomhammer died when he was stabbed in the back with a polearm. Those who look up to him consider this a cowardly act.
One quest in the Twilight Highlands involves fighting some enemies long enough for your ally to sneak up on them and finish them off.

Reaper's Gale has two examples:
Sirryn Kanar, a minor character, kills Trull Sengar by stabbing him in the back with a knife while he is momentarily distracted, courtesy of the God of Fate being unable to keep himself from meddling. Sirryn thinks it's a "The Dog Bites Back"-moment against Trull Sengar's whole people, who conquered his country, except the latter is the only one not involved with the whole mess.
Towards the end of the book, there's a Continuity Nod to Scabandari backstabbing Silchas Ruin in Midnight Tides. Fear Sengar tries to stab Silchas Ruin in the back, and Fear is a descendant of one of Scabandari's followers. He is then however in turn killed from behind with a garotte by Clip, who is a descendant of one of Silchas Ruin's followers from the time the first backstabbing happened.

In The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World, Lee Ayson shoots Paul in the back with his rifle. Given that Paul is Nigh-Invulnerable, the attack has no effect except to irk Paul. Since he and George are in a rush at the moment, his only response is to call out the bad behavior of the supposedly good Lee.

The original Strider for arcades has an interesting version for a platform game: Soldiers at the beginning of the game have a chance of falling back in fear when Hiryu looks at them. If Hiryu/the player walks toward them they will start crawling back, but if the player turns Hiryu's back to them they will suddenly stand up and rush at him with their weapons held high over their heads, trying to hit him. If one is quick enough to face them again before they hit, they will go back to being scared.

The Twilight Zone (1959): In "Mr. Garrity and the Graves", Sheriff Gilchrist shot the notorious outlaw "Lightning" Peterson in the back in the presence of six deputies. As such, he does not want him to come back from the dead and pays Jed Garrity $1,200 to prevent this from happening. It turns out that Garrity's ceremony was successful in resurrecting Peterson and the other 127 people buried in Boot Hill Cemetery, and Peterson plans to have his revenge on Gilchrist.

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan has three main characters: Revan (redeemed from the Dark Side), Meetra Surik (the Player Character from KotOR II), and Darth Scourge (who realizes that The Emperor is planning to start a war the Sith Empire can't win and wants to stop him). At the end of the novel, the three characters have joined forces and are facing down the Emperor. Scourge has a Force Vision that shows him a different Jedi killing the Emperor. Realizing that they can't win, he stabs Meetra in the back, killing her instantly, while the Emperor disables Revan.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs: In "All Gold Canyon", the prospector finally discovers the vein of gold he's been searching for, only to be suddenly shot in the back by a claim jumper. He's able to turn the tables by Playing Possum, and is outraged not only that the claim jumper would let him do all the work and then try to steal his claim, but that he would backshoot him in doing so, ranting about the latter in particular as he treats his injury.

Hook is sneaking up on Peter with sword drawn, when Smee sees him and calls out, "Capt'n!", Peter then turns around and asks, "In the back, Captain?"
In the climax, after Peter spares Hook's life in return for the latter vowing to leave and never return, Hook tries to do this to Peter as soon as he turn his back to crow in victory, using his hook since Peter threw away his sword. Wendy calls out to Peter to look out, and Peter manages to sidestep the attack just in time, leaving Hook to lose his footing on the topsail and fall into the waiting jaws of the crocodile in the water below.

In Fallout 3, one of the first quests is to decide if you want to set off or defuse an atomic bomb in the middle of a town. If you tell the town's sheriff about the individual who offers to pay you to set it off, he will go to confront him and be shot in the back for his trouble (unless you save him, but this doesn't affect the game much).

Yakuza 0: After Kiryu's third fight with Kuze, the former does a Punch Catch against the latter, but before he can capitalise on this, Yoneda runs up with a bat and hits him on the back of the head, knocking him down. It would have ended in Kiryu's subsequent death were it not for The Cavalry. One of the signs that Kiryu Took a Level in Badass in Yakuza 2 is that another enemy also hits him on the back of the head, this time with a bottle, and all that results is Kiryu giving an annoyed Death Glare.

In Revolver (1973), Vito eventually kills Milo Ruiz by shooting him in the back, although Milo Ruiz lives long enough to turn around and take a second shot in the chest, so he dies facing Vito.

Altered Carbon
The warden reads in Kovacs's file that he shot his own partner in the back of the neck (destroying her stack and so killing her for real), and tries to goad Kovacs by saying this makes him a coward. Kovacs, however, knows that she was shot while unconscious by one of the soldiers who captured him as an act of spite.
In Season 2, Kovacs isn't interested in Bounty Hunter Tepp's offer to work for her boss. She responds by shooting him in the back, cutting out his stack and needlecasting him to a virtual reality meeting room where her boss is waiting. Tepp doesn't see what the fuss is about. "Organic damage isn't personal; it's business."

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
Garak has no qualms about this. Being pragmatic is the Cardassian way, especially if you've received Training from Hell meant to prepare you for the life of an operative. In "Call to Arms", he notes to Odo that when he and Gul Dukat were fighting to keep the Klingons away from the Detapa Council in "The Way of the Warrior", he had an opportunity to shoot Dukat in the back for just a moment.
In "The Changing Face of Evil", Gul Dukat disguised as a Bajoran convinces Kai Winn to align towards the Pah-Wraiths. Winn's assistant finds this out and a conflicted Winn stabs the assistant in the back.

In the X-Wing Series novel Solo Command, one of Wedge's pilots is brainwashed to assassinate him, and attempts to shoot him from behind. When the squad tries to talk him down before he tries again, appeals to his friendship fail to make a dent in his implanted compulsion, but what does get through is one of his friends pointing out that he's usually far too honorable to shoot someone in the back.

Mass Effect 3:
Shepard can do this, but the event is widely considered a Moral Event Horizon by players. If choosing to sabotage the Genophage Cure while Wrex and/or Eve are still alive, the player shoots Mordin in the back to try and stop him from curing the krogan. You're then forced to watch Mordin struggle on and almost make it to the cure console in a scene custom-made to make you feel like a monster for doing it. If Wrex is alive when you choose this option, you're going to have a much more face-to-face confrontation later.
After being soundly beaten by Shepard, Kai Leng limps up to them as they're perusing through the Illusive Man's files and attempts to stab them in the back. It doesn't work.

In The Moon's Flash Princess, Kirito, being a Combat Pragmatist, kills Kunzite by running him through while he's fighting someone else, and later does the same to Jadeite. Differently from most uses he's praised for this, as he makes the fight (and the victory) that much quicker (plus, nobody doubts his bravery).

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED:
Nice Guy Nicol Amalfi dies while trying to stab Kira Yamato in the back; Kira turns around and proceeds to cut Nicol (not his Blitz Gundam but Nicol himself) nearly in half. Nicol's action is never portrayed as anything other than sympathetic, given that a) It's a war, b) The Blitz is too damaged to confront Kira and The Strike head on, and c) He's trying to save his best friend, Athrun, from Kira.
Later, in response to being shot by Patrick Zala for trying to question orders, Ray Yuki pays him back in kind and shoots Patrick from behind multiple times before he dies.

Skyfall: James Bond throws a knife into the back of the cyber-terrorist Big Bad as he's about to kill M. This has Rule of Symbolism given the film's theme of whether Cloak and Dagger assassins like Bond are obsolete in the modern era, not to mention the general theme of betrayal.

Lost:
In "There's No Place Like Home, Part 2", Keamy criticizes Richard for shooting him in the back (which also wasn't effective because Keamy was heavily armored). Richard didn't have a choice, though, as Keamy was grappling with Sayid at the time.
In "The Variable", Eloise shoots Daniel, her own son, in the back.

A rare good guy version occurs in Quest for Glory III; when the five heroes enter the Demon Wizard's inner sanctum, they're confronted by super-strong, demonic versions of themselves created via magic mirror. The player's fight seems unwinnable until the thief from the bazaar appears and backstabs the evil version, telling the hero to go on and face the wizard while he holds off the copy.

The BattleTech CCG has the card "Fortunes of War", which has the flavor text, "Whoever said 'never shoot a man in the back' never saw the front of a Hunchback."note The Hunchback is a mech characterized for mounting an AC/20 as a Shoulder Cannon, so it's naturally a heck of a lot safer to avoid getting in front of one.

Some Semblance of Meaning: When Obsidian is leaving the pack, he ends up stabbing Ford, the guy from District Four, in the back. This comes back to haunt him, and later on, in his fight with Achilles, the latter mocks him for being a backstabber. Then, when Obsidian has him prostrate on the ground and is preparing to kill him, Achilles asks him to just let him turn over first, so he won't stab him in the back, and lets him stab him in the chest instead.

The Revolutionary Girl Utena episode "The End of the World" contains an extremely painful and jarring scene where Anthy stabs Utena with her own sword — the same one that Utena wielded throughout the series. And it's made even more tortuous for the audience by Utena's drawn-out struggle to remain on her feet and save Anthy despite her betrayal.

The Professionals:
Subverted when Doyle is shot in his home by an assassin, and the use of this trope shows a lack of ruthlessness. The assassin should have fired a Coup de Grâce into Doyle's head, but is unable to look him in the eye and so shoots Doyle in the back instead.
Played straight when George Cowley shoots a fleeing traitor in the back as he's running away. He could have send Bodie and Doyle to recapture him, but decides on a "shot while trying to escape" instead.

Captain Marvel machine-guns a couple of fleeing, unarmed bandits in the 1941 Film Serial The Adventures of Captain Marvel. It was the first superhero film so the 'rules' hadn't been established, with the character borrowing freely from the pulp adventure genre and therefore is not afraid to kill his opponents. J-Men Forever parodied this scene by turning "The Caped Madman" into a Heroic Comedic Sociopath.

Scream: Given the films' subject matter, and Ghostface's uncanny ability to pop in and out, this happens a lot. How fatal this proves to the character on the receiving end depends on if they've already been injured in some other way, if they're an important character, or if their name happens to be Dewey. Jarring when you consider the cases of Dewey and Kate Roberts; they both get very similar injuries (albeit in different films) in the same place, yet Dewey survives hours without medical attention, and Kate dies mere seconds after the stabbing occurs.

An interesting inversion happened in John Wayne's final film, The Shootist. In the original script, Wayne's character was to shoot someone in the back during the final gunfight, but Wayne refused to do so, saying, "...I've made over 250 pictures and have never shot a guy in the back. Change it."note Which isn't actually true, as seen in the McQ example above. Perhaps he was only referring to the Westerns. Despite protests from Don Siegel, who insisted that good friend Clint Eastwood would've shot a guy in the back, the script was changed, and the final shootout played to Wayne's satisfaction.

While creating the Alara shard of Bant in Magic: The Gathering, a world where the orderly, honorable and noble white mana ruled without any influence of the selfish corruption of black or chaotic brutality of red, one member of the team simply thought of the idea "They don't wear armour on their backs". Yes, in this world, the thought of someone being such a dirty coward that they would attack an enemy from behind is so alien to them that they don't even consider it.

Malazan Book of the Fallen:
In Midnight Tides, Scabandari Bloodeye stabs his closest ally and friend Silchas Ruin in the back. Since Silchas is too powerful to kill, the dagger has to be magically imbued in order to incapacitate him enough that Scabandari can bury him alive in a magical prison.
Reaper's Gale has two examples:
Sirryn Kanar, a minor character, kills Trull Sengar by stabbing him in the back with a knife while he is momentarily distracted, courtesy of the God of Fate being unable to keep himself from meddling. Sirryn thinks it's a "The Dog Bites Back"-moment against Trull Sengar's whole people, who conquered his country, except the latter is the only one not involved with the whole mess.
Towards the end of the book, there's a Continuity Nod to Scabandari backstabbing Silchas Ruin in Midnight Tides. Fear Sengar tries to stab Silchas Ruin in the back, and Fear is a descendant of one of Scabandari's followers. He is then however in turn killed from behind with a garotte by Clip, who is a descendant of one of Silchas Ruin's followers from the time the first backstabbing happened.

The Operative pulls this on Mal in Serenity when the latter is trying to get to Mr. Universe's backup broadcast equipment, causing Mal to ask if he's made him angry (referring to their conversation in the Companion training house). Luckily for Mal it appears to have been a stun gun.

Freshy Kanal: Thanks to the Epic Rap Battles of History-style allowing multiple Olafs in the same shot, there's a scene in "Loki vs. Count Olaf" where Olaf stabs himself in the back with a knife, specifically the Olaf who is disguised as Loki, likely a reference to the backstabbing nature of both characters.

Game of Thrones:
Jaime Lannister offed The Mad King in this fashion, seventeen years before the beginning of the show. And There Was Much Rejoicing. Though even though the Mad King was obviously completely unfit to rule and a danger to the entire kingdom, Jaime was called "Kingslayer" from then on and is met with disdain from Lawful Good (or Lawful Stupid, if you prefer) characters like Ned Stark, who believe that what he did was dishonorable. This despite the fact that he did it to prevent the Mad King burning down and killing everyone in King's Landing. Lampshaded in the TV series. "Tell me; if I'd stabbed the Mad King in the belly instead of the back, would you admire me more?"
Inverted when Fiery Redhead Ygritte puts three arrows into Jon Snow (two in the back and one in the thigh) as he rides off to warn the Night's Watch of the impending wildling attack. It's actually Jon who betrayed her, but he thinks she won't shoot because they love each other. As Ygritte is fond of pointing out, he knows nothing.
To the shock of Bran Stark, who's been raised on the heroic legend of his father killing Master Swordsman Ser Arthur Dayne in single combat, the Three-Eyed Raven shows him what really happened. Ser Dayne had defeated all of his opponents and was about to kill Ned Stark, when Howland Reed (who'd been Playing Possum after getting stabbed earlier) saves young Ned by stabbing Ser Dayne through the back of his throat.
Lord Commander Mormont is mortally wounded this way by one of his own disgruntled men.
Ralf Kenning gets an axe to the head for refusing to surrender.
Rickon Stark dies after getting an arrow in the back, courtesy of Ramsay.
How Ser Stafford Lannister was killed. Rickard Karstark was the one who ended Stafford's life when he personally drove a spear through him.
In "The Bells", a vengeful Grey Worm kills several Lannister soldiers by spearing them from behind, even if they're running or have already thrown down their arms.

Warhammer 40,000:
In William King's novel Space Wolf, a Chaos Space Marine tells Ragnar:
In Graham McNeill's Ultramarines novel Dead Sky Black Sun, during the final attack on the Chaos stronghold, Leonid sees a foe sneaking up behind the Lord of the Unfleshed and takes him out. The Lord hails him, "Now you Tribe!"
Ciaphas Cain:
In The Traitor's Hand, Cain's final Kill Me Now, or Forever Stay Your Hand is to tell Beije and the soldiers with him:
The primary point of any of Cain's altruistic acts, heroics, etc. are to stop Guard units he is leading from shooting him in the back (as happens to other Commissars). Or so he insists, anyway. Even Sandy Mitchell himself isn't sure if Cain just doesn't give himself enough credit.
Eisenhorn:
Inquisitor Eisenhorn has the courtesy to wait until the enemy is facing him. Though he still shoves his pistol in Eyeclone's mouth and fires while the renegade isn't expecting to spot him.
During our introduction to Bequin, she saves Eisenhorn by stabbing a thug through the back of the neck.
In Nick Kyme's novel Salamander, the Salamander captain is shot in the back. At the climax, Dak'ir accuses the killer of having no honor because of it, and a renegade Space Marine such as he defends himself; he had to obey orders.
Dawn of War: In C. S. Goto's Dawn of War: Ascension, at the Blood Rites, aspirants are stabbed this way, by others whom they had trusted to guard their backs.

The Old Guard: Anya only discovers that Booker has betrayed them when he shoots her in the back. In fairness, Booker only intended to temporarily put her down so she could be captured; he is horrified to find that Anya's Healing Factor no longer works and so being shot puts her in serious danger.

In The Road Not Taken, an Alternate Timeline version of Eleya threatens to do this to a Klingon causing a scene on the Promenade at Deep Space 9, walking up behind him and sticking the barrel of her phaser in the back of his neck, then threatening him with a dishonorable death that would land him in Gre'thor.

Stardust Crusaders: J. Geil's Stand, Hanged Man, stabs Avdol in the back, with the coup-de-grace being a bullet in the head, courtesy of Hol Horse. It's revealed that Avdol survived the headshot by dodging in a way that the bullet only grazed him, but how he survived the stabbing is left unclear.

Doctor Who:
Defied, albeit narrowly, in "The Poison Sky". During UNIT's assault on the Sontaran facility, Colonel Mace comes up behind Commander Skorr and bellows, "You will face me, sir!", then puts three in his chest the second he turns around.
"The Return of Doctor Mysterio": When being held at gunpoint by Dr. Sim, the Doctor challenges Sim to shoot him, Nardole, and Lucy Fletcher in the back so he won't be able to claim self-defence. They then get rescued by the Ghost.
"The Doctor Falls": John Simm's Master, having been stabbed by his own future self Missy, retaliates by shooting her in the back as she walks away. He notes how deeply appropriate an end this is for them, given the Master's Chronic Backstabbing Disorder.

Blake's 7:
In "Rumours of Death", Sula shoots her own husband (a high-ranking Federation politician) in the back after revealing that she's actually a rebel. Later she does the same to a Federation guard. This foreshadows The Reveal that she's an agent of the Secret Police.
In "Death Watch", during a Combat by Champion, Tarrant refuses to shoot his duel opponent in the back (despite his being an android), prompting cries of "Kill Him Already!". Instead Tarrant calls out his opponent's name, then shoots him when he turns to fire. He is smart enough to be lying down though, so any return shots would miss.
This contradicts "Powerplay", where Tarrant stabs several of his own men (he's disguised as a Federation captain) in the back. This is Early-Installment Weirdness because Tarrant was originally intended to be a more treacherous character, a Fake Defector who joined the crew because he was planning to seize the Liberator.
Anti-Hero Avon of course has no such scruples. In "The Keeper", he's using the Liberator to sneak up on a Federation pursuit ship.
In the notorious Bolivian Army Ending of "Blake", half the cast get shot In the Back as they reap the consequences of mistrust and betrayal. Mind you the rest get shot in the front, and don't fare any better.

Star Wars Rebels: In "Legacy of Mandalore", Gar Saxon attempts this twice. First, he tries to sneak up on Ursa Wren with the Darksaber, but Sabine and Ezra see him, and Ezra loans Sabine his lightsaber so she can stop him. Second, after Sabine defeats him, he tries to shoot her in the back while she's walking away, but Ursa sees him drawing his blaster and shoots him first.

Person of Interest:
Done as a Running Gag in "Matsya Nyaya" due to that episode's theme of betrayal.
In "RAM", the Establishing Character Moment of Mr. Dillinger is him shooting a criminal in the back — the man was about to murder a Damsel in Distress, but it foreshadows that Dillinger is a more treacherous and amoral character than John Reese (who prefers Knee-capping in line with Team Machine's Thou Shalt Not Kill policy).

In "The Age of Vikings", Viking Teigneux, a chief-turned-outlaw, stabs Viking Pierre in the back with his sword, only to get killed by Viking Pierrot.
In "The Quattrocento", Renaissance!Teigneux, caught up in a vendetta with Renaissance!Nabot, uses a stiletto to kill Nabot in similar fashion. He dies because Nabot has poisoned his wine.

The Rigel Black Chronicles:
Played straight when Lee Jordan hexes Harry in the back while she's on a flight of stairs, causing her to fall and break her wrist.
Downplayed when Leo wins a challenge match for his crown by throwing his knife and then wordlessly summoning it back toward himself, sticking it in his opponent's back. Since they were free-duelling, it was an entirely legitimate tactic (and it wasn't fatal, merely teaching a painful lesson).

This is how the Nanaya clan in Tsukihime operates. As they're almost entirely normal humans going up against demons and vampires, the only way to win is to get close to them before they notice you and cut them to bits. Kiri, Shiki's father, actually used a mace to crush skulls, throats and internal organs. Shiki can mostly avoid this one because his eyes cheat, though he does take out at least one DAA like this in supplementary material.

Lensman: First Lensman opens with the visitor to a lab sneaking up on a scientist with a handgun and shooting him in the back seven times, including twice in the head—only for every bullet to pass through him harmlessly. Coupled with the scientist's blasé reaction and addressing the shooter as "Gharlane of Eddore", this is how we find out that the shooter and the scientist are an Eddorian and an Arisian (respectively) in disguise. (No one notices any of this thanks to their zones of compulsion.)

Star Wars Legends:
Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan has three main characters: Revan (redeemed from the Dark Side), Meetra Surik (the Player Character from KotOR II), and Darth Scourge (who realizes that The Emperor is planning to start a war the Sith Empire can't win and wants to stop him). At the end of the novel, the three characters have joined forces and are facing down the Emperor. Scourge has a Force Vision that shows him a different Jedi killing the Emperor. Realizing that they can't win, he stabs Meetra in the back, killing her instantly, while the Emperor disables Revan.
Grand Admiral Thrawn is killed this way in The Thrawn Trilogy, sitting in his own command chair on the bridge of the Chimaera when he's stabbed through the back by his own Noghri bodyguard Rukh, who had learned of Thrawn's treachery against his people.
In Star Wars: Kenobi, a customer of the local general store/restaurant appears in the doorway when everyone else is gathered outside, and something seems off — then he falls forward with a knife in his back, revealing a Tusken Raider in the store behind him. Fortunately, he survives.
In the X-Wing Series novel Solo Command, one of Wedge's pilots is brainwashed to assassinate him, and attempts to shoot him from behind. When the squad tries to talk him down before he tries again, appeals to his friendship fail to make a dent in his implanted compulsion, but what does get through is one of his friends pointing out that he's usually far too honorable to shoot someone in the back.

Ciaphas Cain:
In The Traitor's Hand, Cain's final Kill Me Now, or Forever Stay Your Hand is to tell Beije and the soldiers with him:
The primary point of any of Cain's altruistic acts, heroics, etc. are to stop Guard units he is leading from shooting him in the back (as happens to other Commissars). Or so he insists, anyway. Even Sandy Mitchell himself isn't sure if Cain just doesn't give himself enough credit.

Firefly:
When Mal confronts Simon in "Serenity", he tells him: "You don't know me, son, so let me put this to you plainly. If I ever kill you, you will be awake, you will be facing me, and you will be armed." Given Mal's later nature as a Combat Pragmatist, this seems more an acceptance of Simon and his sister into Mal's True Companions than anything else. Joss Whedon suggests sardonically that Mal just has a very particular code of honor that will let him shoot an unarmed, surrendering enemy... but only in the front.
In "The Train Job", Mal distracts a guy during his annual Unification Day bar fight so Zoe can hit him from behind.

Amphibia: In "True Colors", Marcy takes the Calamity Box, gets Anne and the Plantars through the portal to Earth, and tries to figure out a way to get Sasha through as well — only to be suddenly stabbed in the back by King Andrias, to the point where the tip of his sword comes out of her chest. She survives, but barely.

In the original manga, this comprises a lot of Lupin III's early kills, reflecting how he's initially something of a Villain Protagonist. In fact, a giant knife handle sticking out of someone's back is almost as much Manga!Lupin's trademark as the iconic Walther P38.

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors has examples in the "Submarine", "Knife", and "Safe" endings:
In the "Submarine" ending, after discovering that everyone around you is dead, you leave them all behind and try to escape in the yellow sub... and just as you're reaching the hatch, you get stabbed by an unrevealed person. It's heavily implied that the one who killed them all is Ace.
In the "Knife" ending, you go down to E Deck and discover that Lotus is dead. Stabbed. Thanks to your great intelligence, you get knifed as well while examining her body. Again, it's widely accepted that the one who killed both of you is Ace.
In the "Safe" ending, Clover is stabbed by Ace because she knows about Musashidou and the fact that he's got the 9th Man's bracelet.
