James Morgan "Jimmy" McGill, better known by his business name Saul Goodman, is a fictional character created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould and portrayed by Bob Odenkirk in the television franchise Breaking Bad. He appears as a major character in Breaking Bad (2008–2013) and as the titular protagonist of its spin-off Better Call Saul (2015–2022).

Jimmy is a self-centered and unscrupulous Albuquerque-based lawyer who embraces his tactics as a former con artist and becomes involved in the city's criminal underworld. In Breaking Bad, he acts as the consigliere for the methamphetamine cooks Walter White and Jesse Pinkman and plays a crucial role in the development of their drug empire. Better Call Saul's main prequel storyline depicts Saul's origins as the earnest lawyer Jimmy McGill and his moral deterioration in the six years before the events of Breaking Bad; it also features a sequel storyline, where Saul is living under the assumed name Gene Takavic, hiding from law enforcement for his crimes in Breaking Bad.
