"Dramatis Personae" is the 18th episode of the first season of the American syndicated science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures on Deep Space Nine, a space station near the planet Bajor, adjacent to a stable wormhole leading to the distant Gamma Quadrant, as the Bajorans recover from a brutal occupation by the imperialistic Cardassians. In this episode, a "telepathic infection" sets the crew into two factions fighting against each other, with first officer Major Kira leading the mutiny.
