Systems, methods, and media for multiple beam optical coherence tomography are provided which, in some embodiments, include: a light source; a splitter that outputs a fraction of light to various waveguides; optical components that receive light from the waveguides and direct the light as beams that simultaneously impinge a sample at different lateral positions, and collect backscattered light from the lateral positons; another splitter that outputs a fraction of light to waveguides of a reference arm as reference light samples; a mixer that receives the backscattered light samples and the reference light samples, and combines each backscattered sample with a corresponding reference sample such that the mixer outputs fringes; and a detector that receives the fringes, and outputs OCT signals, each indicative of a structure of the sample at a respective lateral position.
