List of Final Destination characters

The American supernatural horror film series Final Destination features a large cast of characters, many of whom were originally created by Glen Morgan and Jeffrey Reddick, with contributions from James Wong (who directed and wrote the first and third films), J. Mackye Gruber (who wrote the second), Eric Bress (who wrote the second and fourth), Eric Heisserer (who wrote the fifth), and Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor (who wrote the sixth). The series comprises six films: Final Destination (2000), Final Destination 2 (2003), Final Destination 3 (2006), The Final Destination (2009), Final Destination 5 (2011), and Final Destination Bloodlines (2025).

The Final Destination films focuses on characters who experience a sudden premonition of themselves and several other people dying in a catastrophic accident, only to escape the event moments before it turns into a reality. The survivors are later killed one by one through bizarre accidents caused by an unseen force that creates complicated chains of cause and effect frequently resembling Rube Goldberg machines in their complexity. The series is noteworthy amongst others in the horror genre because the "villain" is not the stereotypical slasher or monster, but Death itself—occasionally seen as a shadow or a wind gust—which manipulates the environment in deadly ways to reclaim the lives of the survivors.

The list of characters includes those who died in the initial premonitions and those who died among the survivors. Characters are listed in alphabetical order, and are arranged by chronological appearance. Unnecessary characters are excluded, for example, those who do not affect the story heavily. The characters' status indicates whether they are alive, deceased, or if it is unknown.

Final Destination is the first film in the Final Destination series. It focuses on high school student Alex Browning, who has a premonition about a catastrophic plane explosion that will kill everybody on board. He leaves the plane along with six other people—his best friend Tod Waggner, his arch-rival Carter Horton, Carter's girlfriend Terry Chaney, fellow classmates Clear Rivers and Billy Hitchcock, and their teacher Valerie Lewton—just before the explosion occurs, but Death begins to claim the lives of the survivors in the same order they should have died on the explosion.

Alex Theodore Browning is the protagonist and visionary of Final Destination. He is one of the survivors of the Flight 180 explosion, and the sixth survivor to die.

Alex is a student at Mt. Abraham High School who boards Volée Airlines Flight 180 with his classmates for their senior trip to Paris, France. Before take-off, Alex has a premonition about a mechanical failure that will cause a mid-air explosion, killing everyone on board. When the events from his vision begin to occur in reality, he panics and is thrown off the plane along with five classmates and their teacher, all of whom witness the plane explode moments later.

One month later, Alex learns that Death is still after the survivors when they begin to die one by one in a series of bizarre accidents, and attempts to figure out Death's plan to save them. He manages to save Carter Horton and Clear Rivers, causing Death to skip them and leading the trio to believe they have cheated Death. Six months later, Alex, Clear, and Carter travel to Paris to celebrate their survival. However, Alex realizes that Death still has not skipped him and is nearly killed by a falling sign. Carter saves Alex, and Death skips him. When Carter asks who is the next to die, the sign swings back down and kills him.

In Final Destination 2, it is revealed that after the events of the original film, Alex and Clear cheated Death dozens of times before he was finally killed by a dislodged brick from a nearby building. In Final Destination 3, Alex is briefly mentioned by Kevin Fischer while he explains to Wendy Christensen about the Flight 180 explosion and the sudden deaths of the survivors. In Final Destination 5, Alex appears through archive footage as he is removed from Flight 180 while warning the other passengers that the plane will explode.
