Zoidberg, full name Dr. John A. Zoidberg, is a fictional character from the American animated series Futurama.

He is a Decapodian, a crustacean-like species of alien only found on the planet Decapod 10, most similar to a lobster. He works as the staff doctor for Planet Express, despite his woeful understanding of human physiology and questionable credentials. His character sharply contrasts with the typical image of a doctor as a wealthy and respected professional. He is shown to be incompetent when it comes to basic human anatomy and performing surgeries. He lives in a dumpster near the Planet Express building.
