Lieutenant Green (real name Seymour Griffiths) is the assistant of Colonel White in the Supermarionation television series series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. He is of Trinidadian^[1] origin, and as well as being the only non-white male on Cloudbase he is also the only officer to hold the rank of Lieutenant. He is an expert in computer programming and electronics.

In the series, Green spends most of his time in the Cloudbase control room. He helps Colonel White with missions by accessing data and radio links at a large supercomputer, which he operates from a movable chair. At White's command he can activate the control room's display screen or speak on the base's tannoy system.

Green rarely leaves Cloudbase, though he constantly mentions how he would like to meet Captain Black face to face. Other Cloudbase personnel occupy his chair to assist Colonel White whenever the Lieutenant is absent.

Cy Grant was the voice of Lieutenant Green
