Jerome Crystal, better known by his nickname Doc, is a fictional character from Jim Henson's television series Fraggle Rock. He is the only major human character on the show,^[1] as well as the only character to appear in all 96 episodes of the series.

Doc is an elderly inventor and tinkerer who loves to build strange contraptions. He lives with his dog, Sprocket, in a workshop that contains a hole leading to into Fraggle Rock, the home of the Fraggles. Doc does not know about the Fraggles at the start of the series, though he later learns about their existence.

Doc was played by Irish-Canadian actor Gerard Parkes in the original series,^[2] as well as in the 1987 TV special A Muppet Family Christmas.^[3] Several other actors played variants of Doc in the international versions of Fraggle Rock. A similar character, also named Doc, appears in the reboot Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, played by Lilli Cooper.^[4]
