The Mark of The Rani is the third serial of the 22nd season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in two weekly parts on BBC1 on 2 and 9 February 1985.

The serial is set in the mining village of Killingworth in North East England in the 19th century. In the serial, the renegade Time Lords The Rani (Kate O'Mara) and The Master (Anthony Ainley) team up to take a chemical from humans' brains for use in the Rani's experiments, with the Master also intending to use the brightest minds of the Industrial Revolution to make the Earth a base for himself.
