The Ninth Doctor is an incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who.

Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in the TARDIS, frequently with companions. At the end of life, the Doctor regenerates; as a result, the physical appearance and personality of the Doctor changes.
