Final Destination is an American horror franchise consisting films, ten novels, and two comic books composed of six issues in total. Each medium features a protagonist who experiences a premonition of himself/herself and several others dying in a catastrophic accident, only to escape the event with a handful of other characters moments before it turns into a reality. The survivors later die one by one in a series of elaborate and often gory scenarios that frequently resemble Rube Goldberg machines in their complexity.

Despite depicting homicide, the series is noteworthy amongst others in the horror genre in that the "villain" of the films is not the stereotypical slasher or monster but the entity Death itself (occasionally seen as a fleeting shadow or a gust of wind) which manipulates the environment in deadly ways with the intent of reclaiming the lives of the survivors.

The list of characters includes those who died in the protagonist's initial premonition and those who died along 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.

Alexander Theodore "Alex" Browning (portrayed by Devon Sawa) is the protagonist and visionary of Final Destination. He is one of the survivors of Flight 180, and the sixth survivor to die.

Alex was a senior at Mt. Abraham High School who boarded Volee Airlines Flight 180 with his classmates for their senior trip to Paris, France. Before take-off, Alex had a premonition that a catastrophic engine failure would cause the plane to explode in mid-air, killing everyone on board. When the events from his vision begin to repeat themselves, he panics and is thrown off the plane along with six others, who witness the plane explode moments later. Over the next several months, the survivors begin to die one by one in a series of bizarre accidents, and after learning that Death is still after them, Alex attempts to figure out Death's plan and save the remaining survivors. He manages to save Clear Rivers and Carter Horton and Death skips them, leading them to believe they have cheated Death's plan. Six months later, Alex, Clear, and Carter travel to Paris to celebrate their survival. After explaining that Death still hasn't skipped him, Alex is nearly hit by a falling sign but Carter saves him at the last second, and Death skips him. When Carter asks who is next the sign suddenly swings back down towards Carter, revealing that Death's plan is still in action. In Final Destination 2 it is revealed that following the events of the first film Alex was bludgeoned by a falling brick. Alex is mentioned again in Final Destination 3 and seen in archive footage in Final Destination 5.
