The Blue Angel is an original novel written by Paul Magrs and Jeremy Hoad and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Eighth Doctor, Fitz, Compassion and Iris Wildthyme.

As with all Doctor Who spin-off media, its relationship to the televised serials is open to interpretation.

Notes

• The novel attracted some controversy for its portrayal of an alternate, apparently homosexual, version of the Doctor.
• The novel has been dramatised by Professor Piers Britton for a design class at the University of Redlands, California. The setting and some of the characters from the Obverse Universe featured in the book were re-used by Philip Purser-Hallard in his Doctor Who short story "Cabinet of Changes".
