This is a list of characters that were introduced in CBBC's The Story of Tracy Beaker. The series is based on the book of the same name by Jacqueline Wilson. It ran on for five series from 2002 to 2005. The series was followed by Tracy Beaker Returns that ran for three series from 2010 to 2012 and then The Dumping Ground that has aired since 2013. Connor Byrne has played the role of Mike Milligan for all three programmes. Dani Harmer and Lisa Coleman reprised their roles as Tracy Beaker and Cam Lawson for Tracy Beaker Returns.

Tracy Beaker, played by actress Dani Harmer, is the main (and title) character throughout The Story of Tracy Beaker and Tracy Beaker Returns. She made her first appearance during the first episode of The Story of Tracy Beaker, which aired on 8 July 2002, in which she returns to care after an unsuccessful fostering.

After appearing in all five series of "The Story of Tracy Beaker" and continuing to appear in all three series of "Tracy Beaker Returns", Harmer announced that she would not be returning to the series in order to pursue other acting work. Therefore, the character departed the series in the final episode of "Tracy Beaker Returns", aired 23 March 2012.

Tracy Beaker is the main character of the original series, despite taking less prominent roles in the later series of the show. She resided in a care home (first Stowey House and then Elm Tree House), affectionately nicknamed "The Dumping Ground", and was a resident there for some time. Tracy is a tomboy with behavioural problems, probably a consequence of her mother's abandonment of her and failure to show an interest in her. Known for her lies which exaggerate her mother's fame and fortune, she tried to convince herself continually her mother would one day appear. She was often reluctant to show her emotions, attributing tears to hayfever. In later series, writer Cam Lawson (portrayed by Lisa Coleman) and her new husband Gary adopted Tracy. Tracy disliked Gary at first, as she considered him an intruder on her life with Cam, although the series ended with them on good terms.
