"Mr. Bean in Room 426" is the eighth episode of the television series Mr. Bean that first aired on ITV on 17 February 1993. It was one of the two episodes in the 'street opening' era that were not directed by John Birkin. It was produced by Tiger Television.

For a bank holiday weekend, Mr. Bean decides to stay at the Queens Hotel, but parks his Mini by the entrance and fights with the bellboy (Matthew Ashforde) over his suitcase, believing him to be a thief, although he later trusts the porter with his steering wheel to move his Mini to a parking space. As Bean checks in, a quiet man (Michael Fenton Stevens) checks in as well and Bean becomes determined to beat the man to his hotel room (room 425), but the man gets to the lift before him. In retaliation, Bean runs up the staircase and stops the lift on every floor. He almost succeeds in entering his room first, but due to a faulty lock, the man ultimately enters his room before Bean enters his.

Once inside his room, Bean immediately starts investigating and personalizing his new surroundings, such as flicking the light switch on and off rapidly, jumping on the bed, changing the lamp shade for his own, placing his own curtains on the window, placing Teddy in his makeshift "bed" in the drawer and accidentally decapitating him in the process, using a drill to hang his own picture frames on the walls (the noise can be heard throughout the hotel), and playing with the television remote control, which he initially mistook for a telephone (as his own television at home has no remote).

Bean tests the remote control's signal range and turns the volume up once he is outside his room until his other neighbour (In room 427) comes outside to investigate the noise. Bean hides the remote in his jacket and pretends to tell the guest inside room 426 to be quiet, and goes back inside once the neighbour is gone. Back in his room, Bean decides to have a bath but realises his room doesn't have a bathroom. Bean then hears the sound of water running in room 425, and is annoyed to discover that that room has an en suite bathroom whereas his doesn't. Bean uses a glass to listen through the wall in order to locate said bathroom, and then once the man in room 425 leaves, uses his drill to cut a giant hole in the wall in order for him to gain access to the bathroom.
