Parallel 9 was a British children's television series that aired on BBC1 from 25 April 1992 to 17 September 1994. Airing on Saturday mornings, Parallel 9 was the first BBC Saturday morning children's series to be produced by an independent production company — in this case Roach & Partners — rather than the BBC's in-house children's production unit.

The show is also notable for the large number of changes in cast and situation that it undertook during its run, despite retaining the same branding throughout.
