Old Friends was the third story of the regular run of Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor comic story series, published in 2019.

The story was notable as the first depiction of an actual meeting between the Doctor and the Corsair, a fellow renegade Time Lord who had a posthumous but important role in the plot of the TV story The Doctor's Wife, and had otherwise only appeared in the short story Eleven Things You Probably Didn't Know About the Corsair.
