A '''multi-Master story''' is a story featuring two or more different [[incarnation]]s of [[the Master]]. There are several different ways a "multi-Master story" can be defined; here, stories are sorted according to several different definitions. This list includes stories with flashbacks, but excludes stories featuring only pictures or archive footage of other incarnations.
A '''multi-Master story''' is a story featuring two or more different incarnations of [[the Master]]. Similar to [[List of multi-Doctor stories|multi-Doctor stories]], this list will not include flashbacks or regeneration stories, but rather only instances of the Master crossing paths with another incarnation of him or herself.


Incarnations of the Master that do not meet their other selves will be excluded to keep the table as small as possible.
[[Series 10 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 10]]'s ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'' acted as both a multi-Master and multi-Doctor story as it featured the [[Twelfth Doctor]] and [[First Doctor]] as well as the {{Simm|n=Harold Saxon incarnation}} of the Master as well as the [[Missy|Missy incarnation]].


== Direct encounters ==
In these stories, multiple incarnations of the Master encounter each other directly, either in person, through a screen, through a phone, through a psychic link, etc. Italicisation means that the relevant Master did not directly encounter another Master in the story.
