This is a list of fictional characters in the television series Burn Notice. The article deals with the series' main and recurring characters.

Jesse Porter (Coby Bell) is a former Counterintelligence Field Activity/Defense Intelligence Agency agent introduced in the Season 4 premiere. He was initially stationed in the field, but his risky and impulsive tactical maneuvers led to his being demoted to desk duty. Because of his research on the war-profiteering organization that Management was hunting, Michael stole Jesse's work in the course of his investigation, unintentionally burning Jesse. Jesse came to Michael for help as a fellow burned spy, which Michael accepted. But the fact that Jesse was insistent on exacting revenge on whoever burned him led the team to cover their trails leading to his burning. Left with nothing as Michael was, Jesse moves in as a tenant with Madeline and quickly fits into the team and their regular jobs.

Because of the circumstances of his burning, his old handler Marv believes he is innocent and had been set up; this connection proves vital later in the season. Marv makes contact with Jesse, convincing him to help find the people he believed burned him by locating a bank and a book-cipher Bible, which becomes a major story object.

In the leadup to the mid-season finale, Jesse finds proof of Michael's involvement in his burning and confronts Fiona, whom he leaves alive, in the midst of an operation to take down John Barrett, a major player in the organization that he was hunting. While Fiona, Sam and Madeline were unsuccessful in convincing Jesse to forgive or work with Michael, he nonetheless appears at the meet, saving Michael from Barrett's men, although the meet ends with the cipher missing and Barrett dead. He later agrees to work with Michael and recovers the book-cipher for them.

By the next season, Jesse is reinstated into an official agency, but finds the bureaucracy and red tape unbearable, so he quits and begins working at a private security firm. His position grants him many opportunities to give Michael, Sam, and Fiona extra work if necessary.

Central Security Service Agent Jason Bly (Alex Carter) is assigned to Michael's case after Michael gained access to his burn notice and his FBI surveillance team is pulled. In the first season, Bly attempts to coerce Michael into giving up his attempts to return to the intelligence fold by harassing him and threatening his friends and family. Michael finally rids himself of Bly by framing him for taking bribes. Michael also blackmails him into providing a copy of Michael's classified dossier. In the second season episode "Bad Breaks", Bly returns with enough blackmail material on Michael to force him to hand over Bly's file. Then Bly shows up at a bank where Michael is helping the episode's client, and the two are taken hostage by a team of bank robbers and Bly is shot. After Michael treats his wound and foils the robbers, the two develop a mutual respect. They exchange their respective blackmail files and part ways on good terms.
