Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett is a fictional character in the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black, portrayed by Taryn Manning. Manning was offered the role without needing to audition. The character of Doggett is based on a real life prisoner; a "young woman from western Pennsylvania who proudly called herself a redneck". She is originally from Waynesboro, Virginia. Prior to her imprisonment, she is shown to be exchanging sexual favors for soda or money. Doggett is also known to have had five abortions. She is charged with shooting an abortion doctor and decides to hire a Christian lawyer; this leads to Doggett becoming a born-again Christian.

Doggett makes her first appearance in the fifth episode of the first season and is initially an antagonist. In her debut episode, she unsuccessfully attempts to hang up a cross in the prison chapel and expresses homophobic views. She has conflict with Alex Vause and Piper Chapman throughout the first season. In the second season, Doggett's storyline revolves around her friendships with Sam Healy and Carrie "Big Boo" Black. This friendship with Big Boo continues into the third season. Big Boo comforts Doggett when she is feeling remorse for her abortions and when she is raped by a correctional officer. The character of Doggett has received mixed reviews from critics, though Manning's performance has received positive feedback.

Tiffany Doggett's nickname "Pennsatucky" is derived from Pennsyltucky; a pejorative term for the people from the rural western and central parts of Pennsylvania. The author, Piper Kerman, of the book, Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison, which inspired Orange is the New Black describes the real life version of Pennsatucky as "a young woman from western Pennsylvania who proudly called herself a redneck". Kerman further describes her as someone addicted to crack cocaine and dealing with the loss of custody of her child.
