Jenny, portrayed by Georgia Tennant, is a fictional character in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. She appeared in the episode "The Doctor's Daughter", originally broadcast 10 May 2008. Jenny is the daughter of the series protagonist the Doctor, a product of altered DNA extracted from a tissue sample from his hand. The character was created by writer Stephen Greenhorn.

Tennant is the daughter of the actor Peter Davison, who portrayed the Doctor's fifth incarnation from 1981 to 1984. She was cast as Jenny after auditioning for a more minor part in the episode "The Unicorn and the Wasp", and impressing the series producers. Following the broadcast of "The Doctor's Daughter", the character was generally well received by reviewers, with many speculating that Jenny would return to the franchise. Georgia also expressed an interest in this possibility.

When the Doctor's time travelling TARDIS is drawn to the planet Messaline, his DNA is used by warring human soldiers on the planet in a Progenation Machine, a device that instantly creates a fully grown and educated new person, and the Doctor recognises her as his "daughter". Born a fighter, with combat skills and tactics automatically programmed, she is initially ideologically at odds with the Doctor's pacifism, but after learning she has two hearts and is connected to the near-extinct race of Time Lord, she begins to pattern her behaviour on that of her father.

Named "Jenny" by the Doctor's companion Donna (Catherine Tate) as she is a "generated anomaly", she is initially received with ambivalence by the Doctor, whom she reminds of the loss of his previous family. He eventually warms to her, however, and welcomes her aboard his crew as a companion. Just as peace appears to have been restored between the planet's warring factions, Jenny is shot and apparently killed. The Doctor cradles her dying form in his arms, and is visibly distraught when she does not revive or regenerate from the wound. In the episode's closing scenes after the Doctor leaves, Jenny revives, takes a small spaceship, and takes off into the unknown to become an explorer like her father.
