This article lists the characters (and the actors who played them) in the four series and three special episodes of the British sitcom Blackadder.

Blackadder was notable for featuring many repeating characters and actors, particularly Rowan Atkinson as the eponymous protagonist, Edmund Blackadder, and Tony Robinson as his sidekick Baldrick (who both appeared in all versions), together with numerous other actors in one-off parts.

(Numbers in brackets indicate series and episode - eg 3:1 Series 3, Episode 1. A single number means the whole of that series.)

  • Patsy Byrne received huge plaudits for her crucial role as Nursie in all six episodes of Blackadder II but never featured in either of the subsequent series, either as a regular character or one-off. Her only future roles in Blackadder were in Blackadder Back and Forth and Blackadder's Christmas Carol, when she briefly reprised Nursie during scenes set in the Blackadder II era and then in Carol's Christmas future scenes, also playing a member of the "triple husbandoid" to Queen Asphyxia.
  • Similarly, Helen Atkinson-Wood was a welcome addition to the cast for the role of Mrs Miggins in all six episodes of Blackadder the Third, but did not appear again in the programme.
