"Winged Assassin" is the second episode of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, a British 1960s Supermarionation television series co-created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Written by Tony Barwick and directed by David Lane, it was first broadcast on 6 October 1967 on ATV Midlands. In this episode, Captain Scarlet establishes his indestructibility as Spectrum attempts to prevent the assassination of the Director-General of the United Asian Republic at the hands of the Mysterons.
Due to similarities between the storyline and the September 11 attacks, "Winged Assassin" was postponed when Captain Scarlet was repeated in the UK on BBC Two in 2001. In 1980, footage from "Winged Assassin" was re-edited and incorporated into the Captain Scarlet compilation film Captain Scarlet vs. the Mysterons.
