Mission to Montreal is the fifth episode of the second series of the 1960s cult British spy-fi television series The Avengers, starring Patrick Macnee. It originally aired on ABC on 27 October 1962. The episode was directed by Don Leaver and written by Lester Powell.
Steed and Dr. King are assigned a mission to recover a microfilm containing the stolen plans of a missile early warning system. Shipboard, they meet knives and a drunken film star.
The story is notable for introducing Dr. Martin King (Jon Rolloason), a thinly disguised character of Dr. Keel. Mission to Montreal is the first of King's three appearances in the series.
