List of Neighbours characters

Neighbours is a long-running Australian television soap opera that was first broadcast between 18 March 1985 and 11 December 2025. It was created by TV executive Reg Watson, who proposed the idea of making a show that focused on realistic stories and portrayed adults and teenagers who talk openly and solve their problems together. The series primarily centres on the residents of Ramsay Street, a short cul-de-sac in the equally fictitious suburb of Erinsborough. Neighbours began with three households, including the Ramsay and Robinson families.^[1] When storylines for certain characters became tired, the scriptwriters simply moved one family out and replaced it with a new one.^[2] Ramsay Street thus became a mixture of older characters and newer characters.^[2]

The following is a list of regular and otherwise notable characters who appear in the series over its history. Where more than one actor has portrayed a character, the actors are listed in chronological order.
