This article lists the characters and the actors who portray them from the award-winning BBC television series Waterloo Road. Phillip Martin Brown (who played Grantly Budgen) was the longest-serving cast member, having appeared in 149 episodes between the first episode until the sixth episode of series nine. Appearing in 148 episodes was Jason Done (who played Tom Clarkson) between the first episode and the final episode of series eight.

The final ensemble, present during the final episode of Waterloo Road, first broadcast on 9 March 2015, was headlined by Melanie Hill, rounding out her fourth year as Maggie Bugden. Other cast members included Laurie Brett, as English teacher, Christine Mulgrew, and Neil Pearson as dynamic headmaster Vaughan Fitzgerald. It was Pearson who spoke the final, original line, "Cue the music!", but this was followed by the camera going to different points in the school with different quotes from the past being spoken above. The final quote made was by longest-serving cast member Phillip Martin Brown (who played Grantly Budgen), who said: "I turned up for a week's cover and ended up staying 25 years!".

Throughout its ten series, Waterloo Road featured a large ensemble including original cast members Denise Welch, Adam Thomas and Jason Merrells; former Coronation Street actors, Katy Carmichael, Tina O'Brien and Angela Griffin; ex-EastEnders stars, Jill Halfpenny, Daniela Denby-Ashe and Zöe Lucker and Britain's Got Talent winner, George Sampson.
