Time's Champion is a work of Doctor Who fan fiction, written by Chris McKeon on the basis of an original novel outline by Craig Hinton, and incorporating fragments of text written by Hinton before his death. It features the Sixth Doctor, Melanie Bush and Sergeant Benton, and is an exploration both of the origins of the Valeyard and the concept of the Doctor's role as "Time's Champion" in the Virgin New Adventures. It also features plot elements from Hinton's earlier book The Quantum Archangel.
It was published in paperback form in 2008, as a charity venture in aid of the British Heart Foundation. The BBC, who hold the copyright in Doctor Who and had rejected Hinton's original proposal in 2004, were not involved.
