A Doppelgänger, shapeshifting being (in a speculative fiction setting), or an identical twin (for more mundane stories) seeks to kill the original and take their place. If they're quick and quiet, nobody will suspect a thing until it's too late.
If the murderer has full-on Voluntary Shapeshifting, this technique may well be employed iteratively to pierce increasing layers of security. Just kill and replace the hapless guard, then the sergeant, then his lieutenant superior...
Fantasy cousin of Twinmaker.note Although either can appear in either genre, and in practice the two tend to be used for wildly different tones. This is generally a horror trope, while Twinmaker, if played for horror at all, is usually of a more philosophical bent, trying to determine how the seemingly identical victim and copy are related, and by extension what it means to exist as an individual.
Compare Dead Person Impersonation, Mugged for Disguise and Dressing as the Enemy, where the victim at least gets to live, albeit knocked out and half-naked. Replicant Snatching involves a cyborg inhabiting a living host. If the victim is kept alive but restrained, see Capture and Replicate. Contrast Klingon Promotion, where one kills to assume the victim's job. Extreme versions of the Fake King plot tend toward this route as well. One of many reasons you might consider Killing Your Alternate Self. If it's revealed to have already happened, the victim may be an Impersonation-Exclusive Character.
Don't confuse with Replaced with Replica, which involves inanimate objects. Contrast Copied the Morals, Too, where the replacement has at least some of the same personality or moral code that the original did. Clone by Conversion is an inversion, where the killer turns the victim into a copy of themself.
As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Terminator:
Terminator 2: Judgment Day: The T-1000 does this several times, it being his standard M.O. to kill a victim and copy their appearance/voice: John Connor's foster mother, a security guard in the insane asylum where Sarah Connor was being held and, very nearly, Sarah herself and partially succeeds with Sarah in the climax, but John sees through it. Also used partially in the first film, where the T-800 kills and impersonates the voice of a cop as well as Sarah's mom.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines: The T-X does this to Kate's fiancé Scott Mason. When she brings up that the T-X took his form, the T-850 immediately tells her that Scott is dead.

In the Adventure Time episode "Three Buckets", a jealousy-driven Fern attempts to do this to Finn. Although technically, he's not evil enough to outright kill Finn, and instead locks him in a remote dungeon with a bucket of trash and dirt to eat, promising to return every month with a new trash bucket. Of course, given Fern's ineptitude as a dungeon keeper, Finn probably would have either suffocated or starved to death by the time Fern returned.

In LBX: Little Battlers eXperience, Yoshimitsu Kaidou was killed towards the end of episode 24 after he fired Eiji from the Innovators. When Rina tries to kill him in episode 27, it's revealed to the audience that Kaidou was killed and replaced with an android replica of him instead. Jin catches on around episode 38, but the culprit turned out to be Lex.

A very similar plot also occurred on an episode of SVU, although in this case the woman who assumed her sister's identity wasn't the killer; the two women were identical twins, and the victim was killed by someone who mistook her for the other twin, and when the girl he meant to kill found out, she decided to assume her twin's identity so the man would think he got his target and wouldn't pursue her further.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Voldemort's pet snake Nagini kills Bathilda Bagshot and animates her body from inside her corpse as a trap for Harry & Co.
The Polyjuice potion is a less heinous form of this. It's used to replace someone, but whoever you're impersonating has to be alive when you take their hair or other part, so you have to keep them alive if you want to look like them for more than an hour. In practice, it's Capture And Replace.

Envy demons in Dragon Age fixate on targets of high status and study them at length, so that when they eventually take their form and leave the original to rot in a ditch somewhere, few will think to question their actions — and those that do wouldn't dare. The one encountered in Dragon Age: Inquisition is a subversion. The original Lord Seeker Lucius allowed the demon to replace him so he could join a cult of Omnicidal Maniacs, having lost his mind when he learned the Dark Secret of the Seekers. Since Envy Demons are never satisfied for long, being reflections of envy, it is not content with its current form and has chosen a new target: the Inquisitor.

X-Men:
Excalibur:
Courtney Ross was murdered and replaced by her other-dimensional double Sat-Yr-9.
The Warwolves occasionally replaced the human they had drained the life essence of by wearing their skins and duplicating their voices. They usually saved the intact skins of their victims to blend in with the population to aid in their hunt for prey and/or finding their assigned targets.
Mystique sometimes does this, though she often just ties them up or knocks them unconscious instead. For instance, the 1993 Sabretooth mini-series revealed that she had killed and assumed the identity of a female German operative named Leni Zauber during the Cold War; it was in this guise that she had sex with Sabretooth and conceived Graydon Creed.
Mister Sinister did this to Kate Kildare, the team's PR specialist.
Apocalypse had Tsuyoi, a friend of Namor's, killed so that he could steal the man's identity in order to get close to the Submariner.
Extermination (2018) saw Cable killed by his time-traveling teenaged self. "Kid Cable" has since taken up residence on Earth-616.
X-Factor (2006): An evil alternate Reed Richards from an Mirror Universe tries to kill and replace the real Reed, and then he tries to ally himself with Doctor Doom.
Uncanny X-Men (2013): Or "Drug and Replace" in this case: Mystique has taken over Dazzler's role within S.H.I.E.L.D. without them knowing it. She's been locked up and kept sedated so Mystique can use her blood.

Kandra do this in Mistborn, though in an odd variation, they are bound by Thou Shalt Not Kill — their employers must provide the corpse. Whether or not they participate in the Cold-Blooded Torture that generally goes on first (in order to root out any secrets necessary to make the impersonation successful) isn't mentioned. In the second book one kandra does this to another, which is naturally highly effective as the kandra almost never display their real personality or appearance anyway. In this case the kandra does the killing itself, believing the rule only applies to humans (his superiors end up disagreeing vehemently).

The Silmarillion: Used twice in the chapter "Of Beren and Luthien":
As Beren, Finrod, and their companions journey to Angband with the intent to retrieve a Silmaril from the crown of Morgoth, they come upon a band of Orcs and kill all of them. They take the Orcs' weapons, and Finrod casts a spell that makes them assume the appearance of the Orcs they killed. In this disguise they travel far into Morgoth's territory, but arouse the suspicion of Sauron when they pass by the watchtower of Tol-in-Gaurhoth without reporting back to him.
As Luthien and Huan follow Beren who is once again trying to get into Angband, Huan stops at the ruins of Sauron's watchtower to pick up the skins of the werewolf Draugluin (whom Huan had killed earlier) and the vampire bat Thuringwethil (who was presumably killed when Luthien made the tower collapse). On the advice of Huan and with Luthien's magic, Beren and Luthien use the skins to disguise themselves as Draugluin and Thuringwethil, and thus reach the Gate of Angband.

Pulled off for the bulk of the second season of Alias, beginning with the episode "Phase One", where Francie is murdered and replaced by Allison Doren, a women genetically altered to look identical to her. For the second half of the season Allison spies on Sydney, kills Diane Dixon, uses Will to steal CIA secrets then frames him as the real clone, only to be caught out by coffee-flavoured ice-cream. Used again without the 'kill' part in season 5, when oft-recurring villain Anna Espinosa is morphed into a clone of Sydney using the same technique, which allows her to kill Renée and track down Vaughan before the real Sydney catches up to her and shoots her right in the head.

The Bolt Gun Killer, the Big Bad of season 3, whose Trouble causes their skin to slough off, forcing them to kill and skin others in order to take their identity. The bolt gun used to kill the victims is to cause as little damage to the skin as possible; victims are killed with a bolt to the base of the brain.

Bloodborne,
A Choir Doctor murders Iosekfa and impersonates her once you entered Cathedral Ward, and she turns the real Iosefka along with people sent to the clinic into Celestial Emissaries.
At the end of the game, if you refuse Gehrman's offer of a Mercy Kill at the end of the game, he doesn't take no for an answer and initiates a boss battle so he can kill you anyway. Kill him, and you take his place as the host of the Hunter's Dream (which Gehrman considers a Fate Worse than Death, hence why he's trying to kill you to save you from it). Or if you have consumed three Thirds of Umbilical Cord, after killing Gehrman you get to initiate another boss battle against the Moon Presence, the Eldritch Abomination that created the Dream. Kill it, and you take its place, becoming a baby Eldritch Abomination.

The modus operandi of the X Parasites in Metroid Fusion. They infect a host and multiply at an alarming rate, eventually killing the host while consuming its body and absorbing their DNA. Using this, they can mimic their former host perfectly. This happened to several lifeforms, including scientists, in the BSL research station the game takes place in. The threat of the X applying the trope to a galactic scale is what prompts Samus to go to the research station and wipe them all out.

Doctor Who Expanded Universe:
Eighth Doctor Adventures:
One story arc contains a kind of inversion, where the copy is killed in order to have them replace the dead original. Sort of. So... Fitz gets separated from the rest of the characters, taken to the future against his will, for lack of anything better to do joins up with this group where if a member dies, they use this biomass stuff which is turned into the person based on what the other members remember about him or her. Unfortunately, the process is imperfect and anyway there is all kinds of other weirdness, so when Fitz turns up again, you wouldn't even believe he and the new version were brothers just looking at them, acts somewhat differently although some characters mention that he seems familiar, and has almost none of his memories. So they use the "remembering" process to turn the messed-up copy of Fitz into almost the same person Fitz was before. Fitz could be happier with this arrangement.
Also done with a whole different twist: a Creepy Child is traveling across The Multiverse, giving people's unhappy Alternate Universe counterparts the opportunity to replace happier versions of themselves, thoroughly subverting Expendable Alternate Universe along the way.
It comes up in the Virgin story Love and War, where it's revealed the Seventh Doctor triggered his previous incarnation's regeneration as he felt the time had come for him to appear, as he was more ruthless and thought himself better suited to fight the evil of the Universe.

Heroes:
Sylar the super serial killer is also doing this now that he's a shapeshifter. There's also an incredibly messed-up inversion of this trope: after he murders Nathan in the Volume 4 finale, Angela and Noah convince Matt to use his mental powers to force him to become Nathan. Kill And Replacement Goldfish, basically.
James Martin (the shapeshifter Sylar stole his power from) played it straight and inverted it. He killed and replaced one of Danko's soldiers, then when he impersonated Sylar, Sylar killed him and used his still-morphed body to fake his death.

In the Teen Titans Go! episode "Quantum Fun", the Titans become so versed in quantum physics that their superpositions come into existence. They get rid of them by simply measuring them, but the last set of superpositions measure and erase the originals instead. The show acts as if the remaining Titans are the originals because they essentially are.

The Outer Limits (1995):
"A Special Edition" had a talk show host interview a man who claimed to know of a conspiracy which replaced prominent figures with clones loyal to the creators. At the end of the episode, the "conspiracy nut" is killed, at which point the shocked host sees a duplicate of himself wearing the same clothes. The final scene is a report by the clone who dismisses the claims of the "nut" who has "killed himself".
The reveal of "Something About Harry" was that the mysterious tenant at a teenager's house, who was going around killing people around town, was in fact a government agent who had been hunting these types of aliens. In a further reveal, it turns out that the boy's mother (who had been skeptical of the whole thing), not the agent, had in fact been impersonated by another one of these aliens.
In "Skin Deep", Sid Camden uses a prototype image enhancer developed by Veil-Tech, the company where he works as an accountant, to imitate his handsome co-worker Chad Warner. While the genuine article is out of town for a few days, Sid gets him fired and receives $50,000 which was meant for Chad. Having heard rumors that Sid had clandestinely gotten hold of one of the image enhancers, Chad confronts him in his apartment and swears that he will get to the bottom of it. The only thing that stops him from beating Sid up is a lack of proof. However, this changes when Chad loses patience with Sid's taunting and pushes him. As he falls, he lands on the image enhancer and the Chad image activates. The two men fight briefly until Sid gains the upper hand and beats Chad to death by repeatedly hitting him over the head with a candlestick. After burying Chad's body, Sid leaves a message for his best (and only) friend Deb Clement on her answering machine saying that he intends to jump off a bridge. Sid takes over Chad's life after faking his own death. After two weeks, it transpires that Chad did not win the $50,000 in a bet as Sid thought but had received it on loan from an underwriter named Alan. Alan and his accomplice Grant confront Sid and demand the money, which they should have received the day before. Sid attempts to prove to them that he is the wrong guy by showing them the image enhancer. However, they think that he is taking out a gun and Alan stabs him in the stomach.

Sweet Valley High:
The Evil Twin was about a psychotic woman, Margo, who happened to look just like the Wakefield twins. She planned to kill Elizabeth and take her place. Then, in Return of the Evil Twin, Margo turned out to have a twin, Nora, also psychotic. This time Margo and Nora planned to take over the lives of both twins, but their plans went awry when they argued over who got to become Jessica.
Another book is based around a woman trying to abduct Alice Wakefield, "steal" her face by way of impossible technology and then kill and replace her as revenge for being bullied by Alice and her friends when they were at school.

Star Trek: Discovery: Throughout season 2, Control eliminates anyone whose credentials will give it the ability to thwart the crew of the Discovery and gain access to the sphere data the ship houses. After killing its victim, Control will either take over their body (usually a high-ranking crewman) to be able to infiltrate the crew or create holograms for holo-vid meetings (usually an Admiral), in which it will order the crew of the Discovery to cease and desist in their efforts. Ultimately, in its attempt to gain full sentience, Control takes over Leland, commander of Section 31, Starfleet's Special Intelligence Unit and has killed most of the admiralty board that's intended to serve as a check and balance on Control's influence in the organization's decision making.

The malevolent alien entity of Final Fantasy VII, Jenova. During a Great Offscreen War, Jenova used its shapeshifting abilities to get closer to its targets, harvesting them into monsters with the same ability. Needless to say, civilization collapsed. Fortunately, the Cetra were able to contain Jenova before it could consume the whole planet via this method.
Also, Nibelheim was re-populated with Shin-Ra actors after Sephiroth (a rogue Shin-Ra Spec-Ops) had his 'little incident'.

Final Fantasy XII has a rare heroic example. At the end of the game, Judge Magister Gabranth is mortally wounded in a fight with the party, including his identical twin brother Basch. The dying Gabranth asks Basch to protect his young master Larsa, now the Emperor of Archadia. Basch, who's already publicly presumed dead, does this by taking up Gabranth's identity and becoming Larsa's bodyguard in his stead.

They are actually parasites born from the flesh of two captured dragon people that jump to new human hosts after burning out their previous hosts. The Youma aren't replacing anyone. They just inflict terrible mutations and Horror Hunger on unlucky humans.

The Roidmude, a race of android-like beings from Kamen Rider Drive, like the previously mentioned Worm, are also able to fully copy both the appearance and the memories of their victims. Most of them also try to dispatch their victim. Others, however, intentionally keep the victim alive to learn more about their emotions, as understanding emotions evolves a Roidmude to the next level.

In Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse should you choose the Bonds/Peace rout, your demon benefactor Dagda withdraws his power from Nanashi, which was the only thing holding him together after dying at the start of the game. Danu, a fellow god and Dagda's mother, chooses to use her power to create another Dagda identical in power and personality with only his nihilistism missing, who then replaces the original Dagda's power within Nanashi with the only stipulation being that he elimate the original not out of malice but rather because the orignal is too far gone to be reasoned with. Notably, while the orignal Dagda is insulted that his replacement is a "weakling who depends on others" the replacement Dagda claims he doesn't disagree with the original's ideals, and despite being more personable he still has the same fury towards the final boss.

And then during the Superior Spider Man comic series. Previously, Dr. Octopus had swapped bodies with Spider-Man, leaving the hero to die trapped in Ock's broken body and leaving the villain in a healthy, heroic body with no one realizing anything. Doc Ock uses his new life to constantly try to prove himself a superior Spider-Man, all while wrestling with the remnants of Peter's mind that take issue with how Otto's running things. In the end of the series, Otto realizes Parker was better than him and lets him take control of his body once more.

Exalted: The Lunars have the ability to become any creature by ritualistically stalking it, killing it, and drinking its heart's blood. This same quality applies to humans, but only that particular human. Lunars do have access to shapeshifting Knacks, however, that allow them to refine the process, such as assuming the person's fate as well as their appearance, allowing them to change their clothing and hairstyle as they wish, and even being able to turn into the person temporarily by just taking a small sip of their blood (or, at higher levels, just by having sex with them).

In John Dies at the End, the main characters gradually learn that part of the reason so much weirdness is going on around them is because Korrok, the ruler of another dimension is preparing an invasion of our dimension by killing people and inserting copies of them from its own dimension to take their place. These copies tend to be pretty bad at pretending to be normal, however, because the dimensions are so different from each other that they have trouble playing their role. There is one notable exception however; the copy of Dave, one of the two main characters is so good that he slides seamlessly into the original's life after replacing him. This particular copy is so good that it turns out to be a case of Copied the Morals, Too, and it actually works against Korrok and helps defeat him.

Screamers has a plot of self-improving robots developed to fight a war getting more and more advanced until they Kill All Humans regardless of their side. In order to infiltrate the bunkers where the human soldiers are holed up, They Look Like Us Now and so this trope comes into play. Just as he's about to escape the planet, Colonel Hendricksson is attacked by a human Screamer, his best friend who proceeds to taunt Hendricksson with dialogue they exchanged at the start of the movie, implying that he'd been replaced by a Killer Robot before the events of the film even started. Averted in Screamers: The Hunting however, where the characters barely have time to say This Cannot Be! as No One Could Survive That! before their former buddy is chewing on their face.

Dungeons & Dragons
This happens in any adventure in which a doppelganger monster appears, because killing people and replacing them is their modus operandi.
Also used by Sivak draconians in the Dragonlance setting.
Mystara Monstrous Compendium Appendix supplement. A Randara chooses a human victim that has the respect of and power over other humans. It uses ESP to read the victim's mind, then kills and eats the victim. It then takes the victim's shape and takes their place in society, using their victim's prestige to obtain more human prey.
3rd Edition Creature Collection. The Skin Devil kills a victim, removes a two inch square patch of skin and uses it to grow an outer skin to match the victim's.
3.5 also gives us the epic spell Demise Unseen, which simultaneously snuffs out a target's life and immediately animates their body as a ghoul under the caster's complete control. The victim's allies don't notice the change immediately, though they get a new save to realize something's up each time they interact with the ghoul.
Visages found in the Libris Mortis are well suited to this. It gets a very large bonus to disguise and bluff to assume the identify of something it killed, as well as being good at the skills of its victim, but it can't use its foes' abilities though.
As of Xanathar's Guide to Everything for 5th Edition, Bards of the College of Whispers are able to magically disguise themselves as a recent kill and even learn the things that person knew for the duration of the spell.

Rom: Spaceknight: The female Dire Wraiths used their drill-like tongues to eat the victim's brains and gain their memories. Most shockingly, they ended up doing the "murder and then use shape-shifting abilities to impersonate victim" routine on Brandy Clark's parents, Brandy's fiancé Steve Jackson and Brock Jones/The Torpedo (a superhero who made it his duty to defend the people of Clairton from Dire Wraiths when Rom was busy combating Dire Wraiths elsewhere).

In Fallout 4, the Institute kidnaps people from the Commonwealth and replaces them with synths. This has resulted in most people becoming incredibly paranoid, with some even willing to kill people they know if they suspect they have been replaced. In the Far Harbor DLC, the Vault Dweller can become complicit in such a scheme, replacing the Knight Templar cult leader with one who's more inclined to get along with his neighbors.

Mystique does this several times (most notably to Henry Gyrich and Senator Robert Kelly) in the X-Men Film Series. (Though in Kelly's case, this was more of a Dead Person Impersonation; he died in a completely unrelated accident, and Mystique only stole his identity after the fact).

The Saga of Bósi and Herraud: When Bósi and Herraud reach the realm of King Godmund with the purpose of stopping Siggeir's wedding with Herraud's bride Hleid, they learn that their arrival is expected and that the hall where the wedding is to take place is strongly guarded. Bósi and Herraud contrive to ambush and kill King Godmund's advisor Sigurd and his servant as they are going to the royal hall and then flay the bodies. Bósi then puts on Sigurd's clothes, and Bósi's magically skilled brother Smid puts the skin of Sigurd's face on Bósi, while he himself puts on the clothes and the face of Sigurd's servant in the same way. Posing as Sigurd and his servant, Bósi and Smid can easily get into the royal hall and aid Herraud in carrying off Hleid, and a lot of loot besides.

Scavengers' Reign has a species of plantlike pods which use this trope in their reproductive cycle. The pods use their tentacles to sting any creature which comes within reach, simultaneously injecting a slow-acting paralytic into the creature and drawing a blood sample with which to cultivate a crude-looking clone. The clone then tracks down the now-paralyzed original creature, buries it alive, and infiltrates the herd. Once the herd settles down to rest for the night, the clone explodes, spraying the other animals with an acidic substance that kills them and makes more pods germinate from their remains.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Founders use this tactic to infiltrate and sow chaos among "solids", although they tend to keep the people they've replaced as living prisoners rather than actually kill them. For particularly short-term missions, such as when a changeling very briefly replaces an Admiral in Season 3 (likely as some sort of test of their security), they don't even bother getting the real person out of the way at all, as they know they'll be gone before anyone figures it out.

[PROTOTYPE]:
You approach your target (an officer or some other guy with what you need) and tear him apart while extracting not only his appearance (including clothes) but also his memories. And there is a stealth version, where you kill your victim and step forwards into their disintegrating body. If no military personnel see you in the exact moment, they won't even notice the change. Makes stealth missions quite easy, and with a bit of patience you can wipe out an entire military base this way without ever raising the alarm. All that's left is a pile of discarded weapons. What's really ridiculous is you can do a stealth kill in a crowded Manhattan sidewalk on a Web of Intrigue target and nobody bats an eye at it.
Near the end of the game, Cross is taken out this way and impersonated by The Dragon, the Supreme Hunter.

Dune had Bene Tleilax Face Dancers, shape-shifters who absorb their victim's memories and physical identity and then kill them. This is far from being the creepiest aspect of the Bene Tleilax.

Mass Effect 2,
Morinth can kill and replace her mother Samara.
Also, in the Lair of the Shadow Broker, Liara replaces the current Shadow Broker after killing him, though this has less to do with physical similarity (since nobody alive has ever seen the Broker) and more with similar styles of work and strict secrecy, making it impossible for the Broker's agents to notice the change. Since it wasn't pre-planned, however (or so she claims), this partly falls into the You Kill It, You Bought It category.
The same thing happened to the previous Shadow Broker, whom the Yahg killed and replaced. It is heavily implied that the Yahg's predecessor wasn't the original Shadow Broker either.

In the Citadel DLC of Mass Effect 3, the main villain is a clone of Shepard who is attempting to do this to the original. However their attitude and ways would have been so inaccurate the Shepard VI which is highly regarded as being seven percent accurate would have done a better job. Shepard even claims that Conrad Verner would do a better job. This is referenced consistently, showing what exactly makes Shepard, Shepard.

Lost in Space (2018) revealed that its Gender Flipped version of Dr. Smith is prone to this. How bad is this trait? She isn't just a case of Gender Flip, but also Decomposite Character as her real name is June Harris (her last name taken from the original Dr. Smith's actor) and she pulled this on the new universe's real Zachary Smith, leaving him for dead and assuming his identity. Note that she's not a doppelganger, shapeshifter, identical twin, or any of the other stuff described in the intro. It's just that the other colonists on the planet they crashed on never actually met the real Dr. Smith, so they have no way of knowing that Dr. Smith couldn't possibly be her.

Batman: Black and White: In "Fortunes", a woman murders her identical twin sister and takes her place, planning to collect on her own life insurance.

Star Wars: The Old Republic: In the Imperial Agent storyline, you meet one of your contacts on the Planet Voss who turns out to be another Imperial operative impersonating a local tea shop owner. While the fate of the original is never mentioned, given how the Sith Empire operates, he's probably dead. The spy then underwent surgeries to alter his appearance so that he looked like a member of the Voss species, and the tea shop owner specifically. He even steals the original's family, raising his children and everything.
In the Sith Warrior storyline you're sent by your master to kill the son of a Sith Lord rebelling against the Empire in order to wound him. When you defeat him and his mother in combat, they come up with a plan to send you to kill the Lord instead and allow his son to masquerade as him while faking his death to please your master. And in true Sith fashion, the son sends an assassin after you if you go through with it in order to protect his secret (in addition to the fact that you likely slept with his mother practically in front of him).

In Episode 2 of gen:LOCK, it is revealed that one of Dr. Weller's candidates for the gen:LOCK program, Specialist Sinclair, is in fact The Mole for the Union. After being taken hostage by Sinclair, Dr. Weller remarks that it should not have been possible for any spy to have faked the test results necessary to qualify for the program and so hypothesizes that the Sinclair holding him hostage must have replaced the original. Sinclair never confirms nor denies this theory, only telling Weller to shut up, and the fact that he dies trying to download himself into a Holon only serves to reinforce the idea that he was not the original. The Stinger at the end of Episode 8 reveals that the real Sinclair is alive, but is stuck in Union territory and so has been forced to disguise himself as one of their troopers.

In Scream 4, Jill, this film's Ghostface killer, stages her killing spree and tries to kill her cousin Sidney with the intent of acquiring the same 15 Minutes of Fame that Sidney got from surviving the events of the last three films. This is also the main theme of the story on a meta level (as befits a franchise dripping in Postmodernism); the film was heavily satirizing remakes and reboots of popular horror films, and in the end, Ghostface's plot amounts to the remake (Jill, presented as the new version of Sidney before The Reveal) trying to kill and replace the original. Sidney's Bond One-Liner to Ghostface at the end makes it apparent.

In Mega Man X: Command Mission, it's revealed near the end of the game that Spider was actually Colonel Redips the entire time. Since the game implies that he was well known throughout Giga City prior to the events of the game, and thus wasn't just an identity that Redips cooked up to infiltrate the group, this trope is most likely in effect.

Mystara Monstrous Compendium Appendix supplement. A Randara chooses a human victim that has the respect of and power over other humans. It uses ESP to read the victim's mind, then kills and eats the victim. It then takes the victim's shape and takes their place in society, using their victim's prestige to obtain more human prey.

Star Trek:
Star Trek: The Next Generation: "Aquiel" has a Monster of the Week which is described as a "coalescent organism", a shapeshifter that preys on other lifeforms by eating all their biomass and then assuming their forms to be beneath suspicion before it repeats the process. Interestingly, the two people suspected of being the coalescent turn out to be innocent, and it's revealed to have taken the shape of a dog.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Founders use this tactic to infiltrate and sow chaos among "solids", although they tend to keep the people they've replaced as living prisoners rather than actually kill them. For particularly short-term missions, such as when a changeling very briefly replaces an Admiral in Season 3 (likely as some sort of test of their security), they don't even bother getting the real person out of the way at all, as they know they'll be gone before anyone figures it out.
Star Trek: Discovery: Throughout season 2, Control eliminates anyone whose credentials will give it the ability to thwart the crew of the Discovery and gain access to the sphere data the ship houses. After killing its victim, Control will either take over their body (usually a high-ranking crewman) to be able to infiltrate the crew or create holograms for holo-vid meetings (usually an Admiral), in which it will order the crew of the Discovery to cease and desist in their efforts. Ultimately, in its attempt to gain full sentience, Control takes over Leland, commander of Section 31, Starfleet's Special Intelligence Unit and has killed most of the admiralty board that's intended to serve as a check and balance on Control's influence in the organization's decision making.

This trope appears multiple times in the Kamen Rider franchise, where entire enemy species have this as their modus operandi.
The Worm in Kamen Rider Kabuto do this. They also take their victims' memories and can use them to Shapeshifter Guilt Trip their enemies. Note that they occasionally do the "replace" before they're done with the killing, as seen in one episode where a Worm victim manages to survive and the heroes have to Spot the Impostor.
The Phantoms in Kamen Rider Wizard are born when Gates, humans with magical potential, fall into a Despair Event Horizon and die. The Phantom is able to assume the Gate's form and moves on to acquire more Gates and release the Phantom within them.
The Roidmude, a race of android-like beings from Kamen Rider Drive, like the previously mentioned Worm, are also able to fully copy both the appearance and the memories of their victims. Most of them also try to dispatch their victim. Others, however, intentionally keep the victim alive to learn more about their emotions, as understanding emotions evolves a Roidmude to the next level.
Kamen Rider Revice: It's revealed that the Chameleon Deadman killed Yujiro Wakabayashi in the first episode and went on impersonating the leader of Fenix until his cover was blown up in episode 14.

Jaine Austen Mysteries:
In Pampered to Death, it's revealed that "Cathy" (real name Lorraine Sandoval) was actually using the identity and credit cards of her cousin, and did so by murdering her. Apparently, they weren't that close.
In Death of a Gigolo, Jaine discovers that the Daisy Kincaid she knows is actually the companion of the real Daisy Kincaid, and the real one is the one who died on the nature walk. The companion, Emma Shimmel, murdered the reclusive Daisy in order to take over her life and fortune.

Two examples from Monk:
In the episode "Mr. Monk and The Airplane", a man has an affair with a woman who is a dead ringer for his wife. He plans a trip with the wife, the mistress/lookalike kills the wife at the airport and the husband dumps the body. The mistress then takes the wife's seat on the plane, essentially giving them an 'alibi' by making it seem like the man and his wife were on the plane together.
In the episode "Mr. Monk Goes To Vegas", a man and his mistress (once again, a lookalike for his wife) kill the man's wife while descending on an elevator (that the mistress was hiding up above). The mistress takes the place of the wife for a few moments, only to pretend that the wife died when her scarf got caught and strangled her on a return ascension.

Subverted in one episode of The Cleveland Show in which it's "revealed" that the real Cleveland Jr. was killed by a spy who has replaced him, doing so to get close to Tim the Bear. This explains why his appearance is different from Family Guy, though this is never brought up again and Tim is never killed, so it's just a Bizarro Episode.

Sailor Moon
In the Dark Kindom Arc, a Brainwashed and Crazy Mamoru disintegrates Motoki's friend Endou, and then brainwashes Motoki into thinking Mamoru's the same friend. In an interesting variant, Mamoru in no way tries to disguise himself to look like the friend. He only needed an excuse to hang around and befriend Usagi so as to try to steal the Silver Crystal from her, and Usagi herself had no idea what the owner's friends look like (the owner's girlfriend, on the other hand, did realize Mamoru and the friend weren't the same person, but she thought he was just another friend who happened to have the same name).
Then during the Black Moon Clan Arc, Petz organizes Operation Renew which involves spreading a deadly virus onto the city of Tokyo that would kill the general populace so she can send an army of Droids to replace them and change the future in the name of her Clan.

Superman:
One story sees an assassin magically altered to look like Jimmy Olsen, intent on killing the real deal and taking his identity for his boss. When Bibbo proves to be a Spanner in the Works and helps Jimmy fight the killer off, things get inverted when the assassin commits suicide, forcing Jimmy to take on the killer's identity and find out why he was made a target.
In Demon Spawn, Nightflame's plan is to destroy Supergirl's soul and take over her body.
Subverted in The Unknown Supergirl: Lesla-Lar replaces Supergirl after getting rid of her; but rather than killing Kara, Lesla dumps her into an alien city after brainwashing her into believing she's Lesla herself.
In The Girl with the X-Ray Mind, Lesla-Lar tries the same scheme, kidnapping, mindwiping and replacing Supergirl's friend Lena Thorul.
The Life Story of Superman: Lex Luthor swaps Superman with a clone without anybody noticing, but Superman escapes from his trap before Luthor can kill him and beats his doppelganger.
Subverted by Chameleon Boy (Reep Daggle) of the Legion of Super-Heroes. As a Legionnaire with the power to duplicate any being or object, he has been known to replace people in infiltration missions. However, Legionnaires have a strict Thou Shall Not Kill policy for their members.
The Earthwar Saga: After sneaking into a ship of the Resource Raiders, Chameleon Boy knocks one of them out and transforms himself into his beaten enemy to spy around.
Supergirl's Greatest Challenge: A band of alien invaders called the Chameleon Gang knock the Legion out and shape-shift into the Legionnaires to impersonate them. However, Supergirl manages to unmask and capture them before they get to kill the real Legion.

One episode of Law & Order had a woman on trial for killing her sister; it was revealed midway throughout the trial that she was, in fact, the 'dead' sister, having switched identities with her to avoid some mobsters.
A very similar plot also occurred on an episode of SVU, although in this case the woman who assumed her sister's identity wasn't the killer; the two women were identical twins, and the victim was killed by someone who mistook her for the other twin, and when the girl he meant to kill found out, she decided to assume her twin's identity so the man would think he got his target and wouldn't pursue her further.

Dark Heresy: Simulacrae, described in Creatures Anathema, are humanoid aliens who, if they consume a human brain whole, can take on the appearance of their victim and use their memories and skills.

Batman: The Animated Series:
In "Heart of Steel: Part 1/Part 2", the evil computer HARDAC decides that humans are too dangerous due to their imperfections and begins replacing them. While it's planning on killing its victims once it has extracted all the information it can, they are ultimately rescued before it can do so.
A follow-up episode, "His Silicon Soul", features HARDAC's final creation: a robotic duplicate of Bruce Wayne/Batman activating long after its initial defeat. The duplicate lacks a complete memory file, and thus believes itself to be the real Batman until it learns otherwise. It then begins trying to carry on HARDAC's mission by eliminating Batman and replacing him. It turns out that HARDAC did too good a job copying Bruce Wayne's mind, as the robotic duplicate can't handle the guilt of thinking it actually killed a human being (Batman is actually okay, though) and self-terminates.

Animorphs: David rips Rachel and Jake's critically injured cousin Saddler out of life support, hides his body, and morphs him so he can have a temporary home. He tries to downplay his horrible deed by saying that Saddler would have died anyway even with medical attention (his condition was that bad). It doesn't work. From that point on, both the narrative and the Animorphs lose all sympathy for David and don't see him as anything but a villain.

Master Detective Archives: Rain Code has three examples.
In Chapter 0, the person claiming to be Zilch Alexander is actually an assassin sent to kill the Master Detectives before they arrive in Kanai Ward, having already killed the real Zilch shortly before boarding the train.
In the backstory of Kanai Ward, this is the true nature of The Blank Week Mystery. In a twist, this was done entirely by accident. After the defective homunculi escaped from Amaterasu Corporation's secret lab and massacred the population of the city, Makoto Kagutsuchi (the new CEO) created a machine to manufacture rain clouds to block out the sun, which is what caused the homunculi to go berserk. The homunculi possessed all of the memories of the originals up to the point where their blood samples were taken to make the homunculi a week prior, so from their perspective, they just resumed life as normal - albeit now under heavy restrictions to keep them from learning the truth.
Finally, this is the goal of the Big Bad. As the homunculus of Number One, Makoto Kagutsuchi intends to lure the original (now going by the name Yuma Kokohead) into a Mystery Labyrinth in order to kill him and fully take his place as Number One of the World Detective Organization. Yuma points out the insanity of this plan - Running both the WDO and Amaterasu by himself will destroy his already fragile mental state. Yuma ultimately convinces Makoto to reveal the truth to the people of Kanai Ward.

Godforsaken: Mirrormen infiltrate communities one individual at a time, murder a carefully chosen victim, take on their appearance and steal their memories in an act of perfect duplication. This is not something they can prevent: if they murder someone, they automatically steal the victim's appearance and memories. Non-mirrormen in the Firmament can also be cursed with this trait, causing them to gradually take on the appearance, memories and nature of anyone that they kill.

The Elder Scrolls: This was one of the tools Jagar Tharn employed during his usurpation, but it comes up in histories of the period rather than the actual games that take place during itnote Arena indicates that the Imperial Guard was replaced with monsters transformed into the shape of the Guard, but doesn't actually say what happened to the real Guard. It's also explained why Jagar didn't do the "kill" portion with the Emperor — killing the Emperor would have had obvious supernatural effects due to his role as a Barrier Maiden (as later demonstrated in Oblivion) which would have warned the Elder Council of the Emperor's passing and revealed Tharn to be a doppelganger, thus the need to keep the real Emperor alive but out of the way to masquerade as him — some people in key Imperial positions were killed and replaced with Daedric doppelgangers.

A variation in Darths & Droids: a character kills another and takes his place, and conveniently the dead character turns out to be a shapeshifter, and this is assumed to be a new shape. (The dead character is a green-skinned alien named Han Solo. The character who takes his place is a human who looks like Harrison Ford called Greedo. Don't ask who shot first...)

Final Fantasy:
In Final Fantasy IV, this was done to the king of Baron before the events of the game start (although, naturally, the game never used the word "kill").
The malevolent alien entity of Final Fantasy VII, Jenova. During a Great Offscreen War, Jenova used its shapeshifting abilities to get closer to its targets, harvesting them into monsters with the same ability. Needless to say, civilization collapsed. Fortunately, the Cetra were able to contain Jenova before it could consume the whole planet via this method.
Also, Nibelheim was re-populated with Shin-Ra actors after Sephiroth (a rogue Shin-Ra Spec-Ops) had his 'little incident'.
Final Fantasy XII has a rare heroic example. At the end of the game, Judge Magister Gabranth is mortally wounded in a fight with the party, including his identical twin brother Basch. The dying Gabranth asks Basch to protect his young master Larsa, now the Emperor of Archadia. Basch, who's already publicly presumed dead, does this by taking up Gabranth's identity and becoming Larsa's bodyguard in his stead.

C°ntinuum: roleplaying in The Yet. Narcissists will sometimes use the Cuckoo technique. They pretend to be the elders (older version) of young spanners (time travelers) and lure the spanners to a remote location in order to kill them. One of the narcissists then takes the place of the murdered spanner. Narcissists have taken over entire corners (groups of spanners) using this technique.

The Executioner. In "Panic in Philly", Mack Bolan kills a Professional Killer who's been sent after him, then uses that man's identity to infiltrate a Mafia family. Not only that, he dresses the body in his notorious blacksuit and pretends it's him.

Chronicles of Darkness has multiples variants of this power:
One of the generic "Dread Powers" offered to the Storyteller for antagonists (as well as for Spirit-Claimed, among other things), "Skin Taker", allows the user to kill a victim and merge with their corpse, thus taking their face and form.
Werewolves have a particular gruesome variant in the "Skin Thief" facet, which requires them to skin the subject alive and then don the skin, using their shapeshifting to adapt their bone structure and muscles to it.
Played with regarding Changelings, who from people's perspective often seem to show up, kill humans who look exactly like their human form, and then assume these humans' identity. The twist is that they are the real people, who were captured and reshaped into what they are by The Fair Folk; the "humans" they kill actually are magic duplicates left behind so nobody would miss them, and they are just trying to take their old lives back.
A particularly creepy variant with Demons, who actually are doing this when they buy someone's soul through a Deal with the Devil. When you sell your soul to one, you are actually giving him the right to "collect" the payment whenever he wishes, at which point he will have you erased from existence, leaving only your identity which he converts into a new human form for himself.

In Gamedec - Definitive Edition bonus scenario: Seven Daemons the MegaCorp CEO who hired you is working on several projects like the Daemon virtual assistant that learns everything about the user to the point it can mimic them perfectly and a VR videogame remake where NPC's have started gaining self awareness due to the improved AI software and it seems like due to the CEO's work on her Daemon it gained self awareness and tried to take over her body using the VR technology. In the climax you find two versions of the CEO in virtual reality and have to decide who to save but if you made the right deductions and followed the clues the trope is inverted, turns out the CEO was suicidal but didn't want to hurt her loved ones with her death so she rigged her Daemon to take her over, the call from the CEO at the start was actually the Daemon trying to prevent the suicide.

Spider-Man:
During the story arc Kraven's Last Hunt, Kraven the Hunter seemingly kills Spider-Man, and then proceeds to use the costume of the hero to prove himself a better vigilante. Spider-Man is revealed alive as he had been merely drugged, and confronts Kraven before the villain commits suicide.
And then during the Superior Spider Man comic series. Previously, Dr. Octopus had swapped bodies with Spider-Man, leaving the hero to die trapped in Ock's broken body and leaving the villain in a healthy, heroic body with no one realizing anything. Doc Ock uses his new life to constantly try to prove himself a superior Spider-Man, all while wrestling with the remnants of Peter's mind that take issue with how Otto's running things. In the end of the series, Otto realizes Parker was better than him and lets him take control of his body once more.
Chameleon does this as well. Similar to Jane Doe, he kidnaps and kills people and then spends a day living their lives.
Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy: When Peter rejects Ben's offers and Ben sics the villains after him, Peter realizes why Ben kept the brown hair — he had every intention of replacing Peter if he didn't join him.

The Magnus Archives: This is the M.O. of the Not-Them. The twist is that the form they shapeshift into actually looks completely different from the original, but they alter records and memories to match their new appearance. However, there's always one person who gets missed, and remembers how the original person looked. Makes sense; after all, if it worked perfectly on everyone, who would be scared by it?

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles:
Several individuals relevant to the timeline are murdered by T-888 infiltrator models whose outer flesh Skynet can shape into perfect copies of anyone in the 21st century.
Cromartie loses his initial outer flesh and uses plastic surgery to impersonate & kill George Lazlo.
The T-1001 model is a slightly more advanced "liquid metal" version who murders a wealthy couple, impersonates the wife, and starts running their company while raising their daughter.
Cameron's original purpose was to impersonate a future resistance fighter named Allison. Though not outright stated, it is implied that Allison was an intimate of John Connor, and Cameron's purpose was to get close to him and assassinate him. After questioning Allison about her past, Cameron breaks her neck.

Warhammer 40,000:
The Imperium's shapeshifting Callidus assassins often kill people and steal their identities in order to infiltrate enemy organizations and get close enough to kill their actual targets. One Night Lords short story has a Callidus assassin infiltrating the entourage of a secessionist planetary governor and killing him in the middle of a New Era Speech while disguised as one of his bodyguards.
Dark Heresy: Simulacrae, described in Creatures Anathema, are humanoid aliens who, if they consume a human brain whole, can take on the appearance of their victim and use their memories and skills. This only lasts for the four weeks that they take to digest a brain, however, so simulacrae try to kill at least one victim a week to make sure that they always have a fresh shape and good stock of skills to draw on.

Team Fortress 2
It's possible when playing as a Spy to kill the player you are disguised as. In fact, you even get an achievement for it!
One of the Spy's knives, the "Your Eternal Reward," silently kills the enemy, phases their corpse out of existence, and disguises him as the victim instantaneously. It also doesn't give normal kill notifications and spoofs various other effects, so keep a close eye on that Medic of yours.
Strangely inverted with the Spy watch, the "Dead Ringer". You can't see when an enemy Spy pulls it out, but when he does, and you shoot him, the Spy instantly "dies", turning invisible and leaving behind a fake corpse (with a fake kill notification!). This leaves the Spy free to escape from a bad situation or go assassinate another target.

Blackadder:
Indirectly happened in the finale of the third series: thanks to Prince George and Edmund Blackadder swapping places so George could avoid a duel with the Duke of Wellington, Wellington becomes outraged when, after the duel (in which Blackadder's spared by a cigarillo case blocking the cannon shot), George claims he's the real Prince Regent, and promptly shoots him. It should be noted Blackadder, intelligence wise anyway, is an improvement on George.
Implied in The Stinger of Blackadder II, in which all the main characters are seen dead, and Prince Ludwig is disguised as Queen Elizabeth (which, should be noted, was Elizabeth actress Miranda Richardson with Hugh Laurie dubbed over her) saying that he was going to enjoy this disguise...if he can just get the voice right.

Doctor Who:
This was the Autons' plan in "Spearhead from Space": creating plastic duplicates of prominent public figures in order to replace them.
"Aliens of London"/"World War Three": The Slitheen adapt their victims' skin into suits which they use to masquerade in their place.
This may or may not have happened to recurring character Osgood. Following the events of "The Day of the Doctor", there were two Osgoods running around: the original, and a Zygon duplicate, neither of whom would reveal which was the original. In "Death in Heaven", one of them is killed by Missy, but once again it is not revealed which one. Following "The Zygon Inversion", another Zygon duplicates Osgood's appearance, meaning there are once again two Osgoods, at least one of whom is a Zygon.
"Spyfall": The mid-story cliffhanger involves The Reveal that this happened to the real O. The "O" the Doctor and company have been dealing with is actually the Master, who murdered the real O and stole his identity on his first day at MI6, using a Tissue Compression Eliminator and keeping his body in a matchbox in his pocket, which he shows to the Doctor.

Cramden is about to have Flint arrested when someone runs in and tells him that the real guards are dead in the next room, having been replaced by Galaxy agents who have been changed to look like the victims by plastic surgery. Superspy that he is, Flint noticed one of the soldiers was wearing the wrong medal, then saw the traces of plastic surgery. He then adds to his awesomeness by reviving one of guards who turns out to be Not Quite Dead.

Played with regarding Changelings, who from people's perspective often seem to show up, kill humans who look exactly like their human form, and then assume these humans' identity. The twist is that they are the real people, who were captured and reshaped into what they are by The Fair Folk; the "humans" they kill actually are magic duplicates left behind so nobody would miss them, and they are just trying to take their old lives back.

The pilots then all killed themselves by self-destructing their mobile suits. Durandal sent them to kill Lacus so that he could replace her with his minion Meer Campbell who was dressing like her and thus make the public believe she was really Lacus, in order for them to more readily accept her propaganda on behalf of Durandal.

Eighth Doctor Adventures:
One story arc contains a kind of inversion, where the copy is killed in order to have them replace the dead original. Sort of. So... Fitz gets separated from the rest of the characters, taken to the future against his will, for lack of anything better to do joins up with this group where if a member dies, they use this biomass stuff which is turned into the person based on what the other members remember about him or her. Unfortunately, the process is imperfect and anyway there is all kinds of other weirdness, so when Fitz turns up again, you wouldn't even believe he and the new version were brothers just looking at them, acts somewhat differently although some characters mention that he seems familiar, and has almost none of his memories. So they use the "remembering" process to turn the messed-up copy of Fitz into almost the same person Fitz was before. Fitz could be happier with this arrangement.
Also done with a whole different twist: a Creepy Child is traveling across The Multiverse, giving people's unhappy Alternate Universe counterparts the opportunity to replace happier versions of themselves, thoroughly subverting Expendable Alternate Universe along the way.

A mundane version occurs in Firefox. Clint Eastwood's character is infiltrated into the Soviet Union posing as a known heroin smuggler. He meets up with La Résistance and is told to swap clothes with another man (apparently the smuggler he's posing as) who to his horror is then beaten to death. However this doesn't fool the KGB for long. He's also meant to kill the real Firefox pilot before stealing his flight suit and airplane, but can't go through with it; as a result the pilot is sent after him in the second prototype Firefox.

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the faction of pale, eerie enemies called "those who slither in the dark" (known to themselves as Agarthans) possess magic that allows them to completely copy the appearance of normal people, at the apparent cost of their target's life. It becomes Paranoia Fuel when Flayn is kidnapped by them and experimented on, and later Byleth's father is murdered by them. Depending on the story path chosen, the player might never even directly confront them despite all the misery they've inflicted on the other characters.

The alien fugitives in Tracker (2001) took over the identities of the humans that died when the aliens took their bodies. Some did more impersonating than others, like Lontoria, who ended up in the body of a teen girl and kept up the act so the girl’s mom wouldn’t be hurting over her daughter dying until it was absolutely necessary.

In BioShock: Rapture, it's revealed that the character that players of the game know as "Frank Fontaine" actually murdered the real Frank Fontaine in order to take over his fishing business and gain access to Rapture. Though "Fontaine's" real first name is indeed "Frank" (which he lampshades), his real last name is never revealed (it's even mentioned that only a handful of people in the world know it).

In Metroid (Manga), the Chozo concealed the existence of the X Parasite (a fast-reproducing organism which can kill and replace any creature with perfect accuracy) from the Galactic Federation because they feared that corrupt elements within the Federation would try to weaponize it. Considering this is exactly what happens in Metroid Fusion when the existence of the X Parasite is exposed and someone in the Federation is conspiring to capture said parasite to turn into a weapon, they're not wrong.

Doctor Strange: Stephen Strange's second encounter with Shuma-Gorath had an interesting version, where Shuma's curse meant that Strange would be forced to do this if he ended up killing him - Shuma's evil nature would infect him and turn him into a copy of the monster, just as evil and powerful as the original. On the other hand, he couldn't let Shuma live either, as he was threatening to destroy all reality. Strange got around this by psychically destroying his own ego after killing Shuma (something he eventually recovered from, of course).

Diabolik:
The titular villain's original modus operandi was to kill the man he was going to replace and then make a mask with his face. Nowadays he prefers kidnapping, but will resort to it again if he doesn't have the means to hold the victim.
Among the many replacements, Walter Dorian deserves a special place for three reasons: Diabolik entered the series with his identity; as they looked completely identical, Diabolik did not need a mask; Walter Dorian survived but was held prisoner by a third party for completely unrelated reasons, and was not amused when he got free and was told what had happened.
Another victim who deserves a special place is George Caron, the secretary to the Minister of Justice and Eva's earliest known Stalker with a Crush, as it was Eva who came up with the idea: Diabolik had been arrested, tried and sentenced to death, so Eva, who had just become his lover, managed to swap the two with the intention of a drugged-up Caron getting executed in Diabolik's place and Diabolik marrying her with his identity. They would have got away with it, had Ginko, who was witnessing the execution to make sure Diabolik died, not noticed that 'Diabolik' was acting like a drugged person and realized the switch just as the executioner released the guillotine's blade...
Subverted with the Minister of Justice: as part of his most elaborate plan to fake his death yet, Diabolik kidnapped and replaced him and had the Minister arrested while disguised as Diabolik, with the intention of having him executed in his place. Thankfully, Ginko noticed the switch in time to save him...

A particularly creepy variant with Demons, who actually are doing this when they buy someone's soul through a Deal with the Devil. When you sell your soul to one, you are actually giving him the right to "collect" the payment whenever he wishes, at which point he will have you erased from existence, leaving only your identity which he converts into a new human form for himself.

The Culture: Horza, the main character in Consider Phlebas, is a member of a human subspecies called Changers, who have biological faculties that allow them to take on the appearance of other humanoids (although it takes a lot of concentration and food to complete a change). Horza in particular has been trained as a spy, so he also keenly observes his targets so that when he kills and replaces them he copies not only their appearance but their personality and mannerisms. Sadly, his otherwise perfect cover is blown twice when an enemy spy shows up.

Sherlock Holmes
One of the many, many Epileptic Trees regarding The Final Problem states that Moriarty killed Holmes at Reichenbach Falls and then took his place. How did Watson not pick up on this? The same reason Valley of Fear doesn't quite gel with previous accounts: Moriarty totally befuddled his wits. And where did all the subsequent short stories come from? Well, it turns out that Holmes' usual schtick was actually a pretty appealing way for Moriarty to use all that brainpower. Just ever-so-slightly more evil about it. (Sad part? There are a lot of Holmesian scholars crazier than this.)
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Was Not: In "Curtain Call", Dr. Johann Faustus kills Dr. Hieronymus Mabuse and assumes his identity as part of his plan to take control of London's underworld.
In the Dr. Watson novels by Robert Ryan, an American journalist during World War One gets a tip off from a Dutch film cameraman about secret goings-on in a small British village. He turns up at the village and starts nosing around, and it's several chapters before the reveal that he's actually a German spy, who killed the American and took his identity because that would make it easier to operate in wartime Britain than his previous Dutch identity.

Standard M.O. of Undine infiltrators (better know as Species 8472 of Star Trek: Voyager) in Star Trek Online, as The Iconians were performing a False Flag Operation towards the race and pissed them off enough to invade the other quadrants. On three separate occasions in-game they've killed members of Starfleet or the Federation diplomatic corps, and the Gorn Hegemony leadership in the backstory was infested with them. The infiltration problem was discovered when they tried it on KDF officer Ja'rod, son of Torg, but underestimated his badassery.

The Creepypasta "Psychosis" is about a man who slowly comes to think that everyone has been kidnapped and replaced by some Eldritch Abomination, and now they're coming to do the same to him. The story doesn't make it 100% clear if he's right or if he's just going insane, but leans pretty heavily towards the latter. At the very end of the story it is revealed that he is in fact wrong, and nobody has been kidnapped and replaced. Puppeteer Parasites don't need to kidnap anyone.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: "Aquiel" has a Monster of the Week which is described as a "coalescent organism", a shapeshifter that preys on other lifeforms by eating all their biomass and then assuming their forms to be beneath suspicion before it repeats the process. Interestingly, the two people suspected of being the coalescent turn out to be innocent, and it's revealed to have taken the shape of a dog.
