"Doctor Bashir, I Presume?" is the 114th episode of the syndicated American science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the 16th episode of the fifth season.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the Starfleet-managed Bajoran space station Deep Space Nine. In this episode, EMH developer Dr. Lewis Zimmerman comes aboard to make a holographic template of Dr. Bashir, interviewing both co-workers and family. Zimmerman develops an immediate attraction to Bashir's ex, Leeta, who wants Rom to want her to stay with him.

The episode's title refers to the famous quotation attributed to Henry Morton Stanley on encountering the medical missionary and explorer, Doctor Livingstone.

Dr. Lewis Zimmerman comes to Deep Space Nine with the intent of using Dr. Bashir's physical and personality likeness as a template for a Long-term Medical Hologram (an LMH), as opposed to the short-term Emergency Medical Hologram installed on such ships as USS Voyager and the Enterprise-E. Whereas the EMH, which Zimmerman used himself as the model, is for short-term emergency use, the LMH will provide full time medical care on distant and isolated outposts where it might not be possible to station a doctor. In order to make the hologram as robust as possible, Zimmerman needs a complete personality profile on Bashir. In addition to questioning Bashir himself, Zimmerman interviews Bashir's colleagues and makes arrangements – against Bashir's wishes – to invite Julian's estranged parents, Amsha and Richard Bashir, to the station.
