The Janitor is a fictional character, played by actor Neil Flynn in the American comedy-drama Scrubs.

Neil Flynn was originally billed as a recurring guest star throughout Season 1, although he appeared in all 24 episodes of that season. He was promoted to a series regular beginning with Season 2 and remained a regular through to Season 8. He made his final appearance in the Season 9 premiere, "Our First Day of School", as a guest star.

Janitor appeared in every episode during the first eight seasons except Season 2's "My Lucky Day" and Season 8's "My Last Words", "My Absence" and "My Full Moon".

In the series' pilot episode, protagonist J.D. sees Janitor fixing a sliding door that is stuck, and suggests someone might have stuck a penny in the door. Janitor immediately accuses J.D. of sabotaging the door, and forms a relationship in which the Janitor tries to sabotage J.D. through much of the series. Although he previously denied it, J.D. admits to the penny issue as an accident in the season eight finale. Janitor admits he saw J.D. do it and claims it was a "character test" that he failed, although J.D. tried to defend himself on the grounds that it had been an accident and he hadn't wanted to create a bad impression at his new job. Some of his practical jokes have been on the severe side, such as destroying J.D.'s bike (twice), trapping him in a water tower, stranding him in the middle of nowhere, tricking him into robbing an Asian couple's house and enlisting Ted and Todd to duct tape him to the ceiling.

The Janitor has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
