The Veiled Leopard is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

- The placement of this story is unclear as Big Finish did not provide a running production code as in their regular releases. However, Erimem's long hair indicates that it has been some time after she joined the TARDIS crew, as does the easy banter between her and Peri. The same familiarity is present in Ace and Hex's conversations. In The Gathering, the Doctor says that he has left Peri and Erimem in Monte Carlo, setting the two stories contemporaneously for them.
