Jim Hopper is a fictional character from the Netflix science fiction horror series Stranger Things. He is the chief of police in Hawkins, Indiana, who, throughout the first three seasons, investigates the strange occurrences in the town. Hopper is portrayed by David Harbour.

Jim Hopper, nicknamed "Hop", is the chief of Hawkins Police Department. Hopper has lived in Hawkins nearly all his life, having attended high school with Joyce Byers and Bob Newby. He has also been addressed as "Sheriff Hopper," but this is not a correct title. Hopper was married and they had a daughter together, Sarah. They divorced after his young daughter died of cancer, which caused him to lapse into alcoholism to cope with the grief. For a few years after Sarah's death, he was a homicide detective in New York City. When he had been in the city long enough, he moved back to Hawkins. Eventually, he grows to be more responsible, saving Will Byers as well as taking Eleven in as his adopted daughter. In Season 3, he tries to break up Eleven and Mike since their relationship is moving too fast for him, while simultaneously trying to rekindle his relationship with Joyce.

In Season 1, Hopper is a chainsmoking, alcoholic cop in Hawkins, Indiana. He's approached by a former high school classmate, Joyce Byers, who tells him her son, Will, has gone missing. Joyce tells Chief Hopper about the static phone call she received and suspected was Will's breathing. Hopper is reluctant to believe her but admits that the charring of the phone from the surge of electricity sounds unusual.

Hopper realises as the season continues that there is a vast conspiracy hiding at Hawkins Lab and he is instrumental in the mission to find and save Will.

Jim Hopper has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
