Terence is a Lhasa Apso dog from the BBC soap opera EastEnders. The character first appeared in the series on 29 October 2001, after being purchased as an 18th birthday gift for Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) by Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick). Despite being portrayed by a male dog, Caspar, who was later renamed after his character, Terence's gender was subject to dispute throughout their tenure and they were regularly referred to as both male and female, often in the same scene, which led to them being branded "non-binary" by fans of the show and nicknamed "Theirence".

Another dog took over the role in 2009, appearing in several scenes before Terence was written out of the show by the producers, making their final appearance on 31 December 2009. Terence's storylines on the show included briefly being placed in a dog's home by Terry Raymond (Gavin Richards), moving in with Billy and being snatched back by Janine from the Jackson family following her return.
