Torchwood is a British science fiction and crime drama created by Russell T. Davies and starring John Barrowman and Eve Myles. It deals with the machinations and activities of the Cardiff branch of the fictional Torchwood Institute.

The program follows the Cardiff branch "Torchwood Three" of a covert agency called Torchwood which investigates extra-terrestrial incidents on Earth and who also scavenge alien technology for human use. To paraphrase Torchwood Threes commander-in-chief, Captain Jack Harkness, the organisation is beyond the government, the police, and the United Nations.

Torchwood is a spin-off from the long-running science fiction series Doctor Who and there have been three series of Torchwood so far. The title "Torchwood" is an anagram of "Doctor Who". The name was used as the "codename" for the 2005 series of Doctor Who while filming its first few episodes to ensure the tapes were not intercepted.

The Torchwood Institue was formed in 1879 by the royal decree of Queen Victoria. "I saw last night that Great Britain has enemies beyond imagination, and we must defend our borders on all sides. I
propose an institute, to investigate these strange happenings and to fight them. I am calling it Torchwood. The Torchwood Institute".
