Doctor Nefarious is a fictional character and the primary antagonist from Insomniac Games' Ratchet & Clank video game series. He has a main role in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, and Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, plus cameos in Ratchet: Deadlocked and Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty. He also makes an appearance in the 2016 film adaption of the Ratchet & Clank series.

Most of what is known about Doctor Nefarious' past comes from the much less-than-reliable Qwark comics featured in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. Originally an organic humanoid with an abnormally-large head, Dr. Nefarious first appeared when he created an army of Amoeboids to infest Blackwater City and destroy all life. After fending off the Amoeboids, Captain Qwark traced Nefarious to a robot factory on planet Magmos and cornered the villain. Upon meeting him, Qwark recognized Nefarious as one of the students he bullied and humiliated in high school. As Qwark tried to give him a wedgie "for old times' sake", Nefarious fell off his catwalk and crashed into the machinery below, which ultimately led to his transformation into a robot. The new Nefarious soon after unleashed a horde of robotic insects on Metropolis to get revenge on Qwark, who confronted and defeated him again, leaving the villain as a disembodied head which Qwark dumps in a trash can. Qwark was subsequently knocked out by Nefarious' butler Lawrence and taken to the former's ice planet lab. Qwark managed to escape while Nefarious began planning his vendetta after he was repaired; however, the repairs left Nefarious with a habit of malfunctioning in times of extreme stress (during which episodes he freezes up and receives random radio signals of a soap opera in his head).
