"Genius Loci" is a novel by Ben Aaronovitch, focusing on the early career of Bernice "Benny" Summerfield, a character from the spin-off media based on the long-running British science fiction television series "Doctor Who".

The book is set before Benny met the Doctor and is not officially licensed, but does contain some allusions to "Doctor Who", specifically the Silurians as depicted in the television series and in the New Adventures spin-off novels. The book also references Benny's back-story as explored in the New Adventures.
