Professor George Litefoot was a character who appeared in the 1977 Doctor Who television serial, The Talons of Weng-Chiang. He was played by Trevor Baxter. He worked so well with Christopher Benjamin's character, Henry Gordon Jago, the production team briefly considered giving them their own spin-off series. In 2009 they reprised their roles for the Big Finish Productions audio drama, The Mahogany Murderers. This led to their own audio series, Jago & Litefoot. Litefoot's character also appeared in 1997 Doctor Who novel, The Bodysnatchers.

George Litefoot was a pathologist, against the backdrop of Victorian era London. A learned, upper class, erudite English gentleman, he was raised in China, where his father was stationed as a soldier. In 1889, he met the Fourth Doctor and Leela, when a 51st Century fugitive tyrant named Magnus Greel was kidnapping helpless women. It was also at this time that Litefoot met theatre owner and Master of Ceremonies, Henry Gordon Jago. The two remained close friends ever since.

In 1892, Litefoot started spending more time in one of Jago's favourite haunts, the Red Tavern, and befriending the barmaid, Ellie Higson. After that, Jago and Litefoot's investigations of infernal incidents in the paranormal became more frequent. Together, they saved the Empire from bloodsucking beasts, creeping cadavers, villainous vampires, sordid spectres, psychotic scientists and ambulatory automata.
