The Monster of Peladon is the fourth serial of the 11th season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in six weekly parts on BBC1 from 23 March to 27 April 1974. It was Jon Pertwee's penultimate serial as the Third Doctor.
The serial is set on the mineral-rich planet Peladon 50 years after the 1972 serial The Curse of Peladon.
