Doctor at Sea is a British television comedy series, the fourth of seven series in a franchise that began with Doctor in the House and was inspired by the "Doctor" books by Richard Gordon.

It was produced by London Weekend Television in 1974.[3]
Although each of its predecessors had longer runs, Doctor at Sea was limited to a single series of thirteen episodes.[4]
