This is a disambiguation page. The Man in the Iron Mask could refer to:

The mysterious historical figure, a French prisoner in a velvet mask, believed by some historians to be a man named Eustache Dauger.
The poem The Prison by Alfred de Vigny, an 1821 work purporting to recount events surrounding the death of Man in the Iron Mask.
The Vicomte de Bragelonne: Ten Years Later by Alexandre Dumas, the third book in The d'Artagnan Romances (sequel to The Three Musketeers and Twenty Years After), whose final section is entitled The Man in the Iron Mask.
The 1939 film.
The 1977 British TV movie.
The Fifth Musketeer, a 1979 film also known as Behind the Iron Mask.
The 1998 film, which was a loose adaptation of Dumas' novel above.

Writer and philosopher Voltaire is responsible for both the iron mask (instead of the actual velvet) and the conceit that the prisoner was the older, illegitimate brother of Louis XIV, making those claims in the second edition of his Questions sur l'Encyclopédie (published in 1771).

These are by no means all the works inspired by the masked man in the Bastille; feel free to add any others.
