List of titled Doctor Who episodes - Definition and Overview

This is a list of titled episodes in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. For a complete listing of serials see List of Doctor Who serials.

In the first two seasons and most of the third season of Doctor Who, each episode of a serial had an individual title; no serial had an overall onscreen title until The Savages. The earlier stories did have overall titles though they were not used onscreen, and much confusion has existed over the years, with many sources using different titles due to early fandom and reference works being unable to initially access the production files.

The following listing of episode titles is grouped according to serial. The letter in brackets after the serial titles indicates the code used by the production team to designate the serial (where applicable) and are followed by the number of episodes in the serial. Unless otherwise noted, episodes were 25 minutes long.
