Doctor Who logo (2023)

This is a list of fictional creatures and aliens from the universe of the long-running BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. The series first aired in 1963[1] before being cancelled in 1989, with a brief attempt to revive the show in 1996 being unsuccessful.[2] The show was successfully revived in 2005, and continues to air episodes.[3] The series stars an extraterrestrial known as The Doctor who is capable of changing their appearance when they die in a process known as regeneration.[4] They travel through time and space[5] in a machine known as the TARDIS.[6] In the process, the Doctor often comes into contact with various alien species.[5] This list only covers alien races and other fictional creatures and not specific characters. Additionally, several alien races re-appear in Doctor Who's spin-off series The Sarah Jane Adventures, Torchwood, and Class, though antagonists original to those series do not appear on this list.
