Jake McGann (born 1991) is an English actor. He is the second and younger son of actor Paul McGann and Annie Milner. He has an elder brother, Joseph ("Joe"), born in 1988. He is the nephew of actors Joe, Mark and Stephen McGann.

In 2007, he appeared in two Doctor Who audio dramas starring his father as the Doctor: Immortal Beloved and The Girl Who Never Was, before playing the title role in the 2009 audio, An Earthly Child where he played The Doctor's great-grandson Alex Campbell. He reprised his role in the 2010 audio drama Relative Dimensions. [1]

Jake found himself involved in the Doctor Who audio dramas after joining his father at the BBC on work experience.

Jake's father Paul McGann claimed at Triocon in 2010 that Jake was surprised to find he had his own wiki, and read that fans were trying to "de-canonise" his father, who suggested it sounded like something that happened in the Middle Ages.
