Doctor Who Classics is an eight-volume reprint series published by IDW Publishing between 2008 and 2012, collecting Doctor Who comic strips originally published in Doctor Who Magazine (formerly Doctor Who Weekly) in the United Kingdom. The strips were drawn by artists including Dave Gibbons and Mike McMahon and written by creators who shaped British comics during the late 1970s and 1980s.

The collections begin with strips from the late 1970s featuring the Fourth Doctor and continue through strips from the Fifth Doctor era. IDW published these in the American market in full colour, making them accessible to readers who had not seen the original UK printings. The Doctor Who Magazine comic strip tradition runs parallel to the television series and has produced stories that stand independently of the show’s continuity. Volumes 1 through 7 form the core chronological run, with Volume 8 collecting additional material.
