The Shadow in the Glass is a BBC Books original novel written by Stephen Cole and Justin Richards and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Sixth Doctor and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, investigating the apparent resurrection of Adolf Hitler.

The Shadow in the Glass was written so as to fit the title Instruments of Darkness, although in the end the title was retained for Russell's book, which was published later in the Past Doctor Adventures series.
