Count Dracula is an aristocratic vampire created by Bram Stoker in his novel Dracula.

The monstrous but variously romantic or erotic figure of the Count has provided the germ of any number of fictional incarnations, including Fred Saberhagen's The Dracula Tape, the first volume of a loosely constructed sequence of novels.

Actors who have memorably portrayed the Count include Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, Jack Palance, Frank Langella, and Gary Oldman.
