...or at least they're likely to be mistaken for them whenever the era they travel to is familiar with the concept. Think about it. If you're from a different time, then you: Possess a bunch of knowledge that most people wouldn't have, some of which may very well be classified in the time you've arrived in. Lack a bunch of knowledge about pop culture and current events that most people would have. Probably have an accent that sounds slightly off. Can't convincingly account for your past, because you literally don't have one in that timeline. Have goals which probably look incomprehensible to other people, and therefore are likely to be taken as cover for something more sinister. All of these will make you appear to be a spy to anyone who takes enough of an interest in you to notice. Compare Fish out of Temporal Water, the root cause of this trope. |

In the horror novel Jago, a minor character is transported back in time fifty years, landing in the middle of World War II. The suspicious locals who find her decide she's a German spy who's just parachuted in, taking her modern clothes for some kind of Spy Catsuit... and the fact that she's wearing a swastika necklace in what was, in the 1990s, a relatively harmless act of teenage rebellion, really doesn't help her case. | |

Kids Praise: The seventh album involves two brief Adventures in the Bible: one visit to King David while he was still a shepherd boy, and another to the dedication of Solomon's Temple. Both times, the kids are mistaken for enemy spies, either requiring Psalty to explain, or requiring them to time-travel out of there before being attacked! | |

In Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Buck is effectively a time traveler, having awakened after 504 years into a future he doesn't yet understand. Matters aren't helped by the fact that he is awakened by the Draconians, Earth's enemies, who install a tracking device on Buck's space shuttle to learn how to get through Earth's defenses. Buck is subsequently accused by Earth of being a Draconian spy, setting up the Clear My Name plot that dominates the second half of the pilot movie. Most of the episodes in the first season have Buck utilized as a spy by the Earth Defense Directorate precisely because he's not on the grid. Buck's frequently able to use his 20th century skills to throw 25th century opponents off guard. | |

Chekov and Uhura in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, in the famous "Noo-klee-ar wessels" sequence. Somehow they don't realize that, if you want to get aboard an American aircraft carrier in 1986, the guy with the prominent Russian accent probably shouldn't be your spokesperson. This doesn't cause them any problems in the end except for a bunch of strange looks, but when the inevitable transporter malfunction strands Chekov next to the reactor of aforementioned nuclear wessel he is assumed to be a Russian spy. His recitation of Name, (Starfleet) Rank, and Number do nothing to dispel this. One of his interrogators does express some doubts, noting that while Chekov obviously is a Russkie, he's also "a retard or something" because of Chekov's farfetched claims and Literal Mindedness. | |

This happens to Gary in an early episode of Goodnight Sweetheart. Knowing Himmler and Goebbels' hair colour is what did it; his claims to have seen it in a newsreel fall a bit flat because newsreels were monochrome. He decides to play it up and manages to convince his captors he is a spy, but a British one and not a German one as they'd assumed. | |

Stargate SG-1. In "1969", the team finds themselves at the bottom of a missile silo in 1969, leading naturally to this assumption. It doesn't help that the interrogator asks them, in Russian, "Are you Russian spies?" and Daniel replies without thinking, "Nyet." O'Neill is not happy. | |

Outlander: When Claire Beauchamp Randall inexplicably travels from 1945 to 1743, she spends most of the first season warding off accusations of espionage. The Highlanders think she's a spy for the English or the French and the English think she's a spy for the French or possibly sent on behalf of the exiled Stuart king. It doesn't help that she inexplicably knows things before they "happen", due to their historical importance. Additionally, in the first book, Jamie notes that while she's fluent in multiple languages, she doesn't sound native in any of them, including English. However, what he considers an "odd" accent is merely due to her learning the language 200 years past the time he learned it. | |

Star Trek: The Original Series In "Tomorrow Is Yesterday", when the Enterprise accidentally travels back in time to Earth in 1969, Captain Kirk is considered a spy when he's caught infiltrating a U.S. Air Force base. (When an interrogator threatens to lock him up for two hundred years, Kirk ruefully acknowledges, "That ought to be just about right.") In "Assignment: Earth", when the Enterprise is purposefully sent back in time to Earth in 1968, Kirk and Spock are arrested as spies when they're caught inside McKinley Rocket Base. |

In Hot Tub Time Machine, Blaine and the ski patrol, all of whom are '80s Jerk Jocks drunk on Reagan-era Patriotic Fervor, mistake the main characters for Soviet spies after finding their cell phones and MP3 players (which they think are spy gadgets), and their can of Chernobyl energy drink with its Cyrillic lettering (which they think is a bomb). The protagonists later use this misconception to escape, spewing Russian-sounding gibberish and threatening to blow up the ski lodge if the ski patrol doesn't let them go. | |

In Chrono Trigger, Crono and his companions are identified as spies by a mysterious prophet who recently turned up in the Kingdom of Zeal in 12,000 B.C. and predicted various events, including their arrival. The prophet himself turns out to be a time-traveling Magus, inverting the trope. That and it can be presumed that he avoids many of the mishaps of being thought as a spy despite his time-traveler status because he actually existed in that past time period and place(as a child) and thus knows the cultural details that the natives there would know. | |

Doctor Who: Naturally this happens whenever the Doctor and his companions turn up in a war zone. In "The War Games" they're detained by British World War One soldiers and accused of being German spies. They then escape only to get caught by the Germans who plan to execute them as British spies. Later a British officer they've convinced of their bona fides gets his brainwashing restored and immediately accuses them of being German spies, to everyone's confusion as they're pretending to be the alien villains at the time. To cap this off the Big Bad also accuses them of being spies working for a rival. The only person who believes they are time travelers turns out to be a renegade Time Lord who's acquainted with the Doctor. "Frontier in Space" plays the trope for longer than usual given that there's a Space Cold War and both sides think the Doctor and Jo Grant are working for their enemies. Then the Master shows up to further muddy the waters with fake records showing they are both known criminals. In "The Masque of Mandragora", Duke Giuliano accuses the Doctor of being a spy, and proves himself a lot smarter than most villains by ordering his immediate execution. Another noble opposed to Giuliano fortunately rescues him. In "The Talons of Weng-Chiang". Magnus Greel thinks the Doctor is a Time Agent sent to recapture him for his war crimes. Although at first he dismisses the possibility when told by his underling about the Doctor asking a lot of questions, saying that a Time Agent would already know the answers. This is a plot point in "The Caves of Androzani". His unexplained presence on Androzani Minor leads Morgus to assume the Doctor is a spy for the President, leading to several fatal errors on his part. In "Cold War", the Doctor and Clara materialize on board a Soviet nuclear sub. Naturally, the crew assumes they're Western spies, despite the TARDIS turning their speech into flawless Russian. This leads to an exchange where Clara says she doesn't even speak Russian... while speaking Russian. They decide to cut to the chase and admit they are time-travellers, since no other explanation would work. "Spyfall" plays it much more literally than the show usually does, with the Thirteenth Doctor and her "fam" called in to help MI6 when intelligence agents around the globe are felled by an alien-connected conspiracy, complete with a Black-Tie Infiltration and Yaz and Ryan posing as reporters at one point. In the spin-off K9 episode "The Cambridge Spy", a lightning strike sends Jorjie back to Cambridge in 1963. She's arrested as a Russian spy, and K9 and Starkey have to travel back to rescue her. |

In the GURPS Infinite Worlds setting, this trope is played with due to the fact that Infinity Patrol agents routinely do become spies in the Alternate timelines they infiltrate, both to avoid the notice of the locals, as well as to hide from agents of rival Crossworld travelers from the Centrum timeline. | |

Played straight in the novel Timeline. An English knight suspects a shy "Irish" squire (in reality an American student from 1999) of being a French spy and challenges him to a joust to prove that he is not.note The Medieval assumption was that God would never let the right party lose a fight, regardless of the duelist training. | |
