Allan Fotheringham (born August 31, Canadian newspaper and magazine journalist. He is widely known by the nickname Dr. Foth.


Fotheringham studied journalism at the University of British Columbia, and has worked for a variety of media outlets during his career. He is best known as a columnist for Maclean's Magazine, where his column appeared on the back page of the magazine for 27 years. Fotheringham's column was so widely read and so influential that he is said to have made Maclean's "the magazine people read from back to front".


In 2001, Maclean's underwent an editorial revamp, and Fotheringham's column was moved to an inside page to make room for a guest column. Soon afterward, Fotheringham left Maclean's, and became a columnist for The Globe and Mail.
