Janet Fielding (born Janet Mahoney 1957, Brisbane, Queensland) is an Australian actress known for her part in the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who as a companion of the Fifth Doctor: Tegan Jovanka.

Fielding played the part between 1981 and 1984. She made a guest appearance on Jim'll Fix It in a Doctor Who related sketch alongside Colin Baker's Doctor in 1985 (A Fix with Sontarans). She is a theatrical agent, once representing Paul McGann when he took the role of the Eighth Doctor.

Despite distancing herself from Doctor Who for many years, Doctor Who Magazine issue #361 confirmed that Fielding will be returning to the role of Tegan for a Big Finish Productions audio play titled Summer in the City due for release in 2006, once again alongside Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor.
