The Cybermen are a race of cybernetically enhanced humanoids who are among the most persistent enemies of the Doctor in the British science fiction television programme, Doctor Who. They were originally a wholly organic species of humanoids originating on Earth's twin planet Mondas that began to implant more and more artificial parts into their bodies as a means of self-preservation. This led to the race becoming coldly logical and calculating, with every emotion expunged from their minds.

They were created by Dr. Kit Pedler, the unofficial scientific advisor to the show, and Gerry Davis in 1966, first appearing in the serial The Tenth Planet. They were featured numerous times, up until the show's cancellation.

Following the 2005 revival of the show, the Cybermen returned with a new origin story in a parallel universe, in the 2006 series' two-parter "Rise of the Cybermen" and "The Age of Steel", and have been recurring villains again ever since. The original Cybermen returned in the 2013 episode "Nightmare in Silver", technologically advanced to the point of being able to instantly upgrade themselves to fix flaws and weaknesses.
