The following entry is a list of characters from The Umbrella Academy, a comic book series created and written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá, and its television adaptation on Netflix. The adaptation currently consists of three 10-episode seasons, the most recent of which was released on 22 June 2022. The Umbrella Academy features seven super-powered children: Luther Hargreeves, who has superstrength; Diego Hargreeves, who can control the knives that he throws; Allison Hargreeves, who can alter reality with the phrase "I Heard a Rumor", followed by what she wants to happen; Klaus Hargreeves, who can communicate with the dead; Five Hargreeves, who can teleport and time travel; Ben Hargreeves, who can summon monstrous tentacles from his torso; and Vanya Hargreeves (later Viktor Hargreeves in the television adaptation ), who can control sound waves. All the orphans were adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, and transformed into the superhero team called the Umbrella Academy.

Sir Reginald Hargreeves, also known as The Monocle, is an alien disguised as a wealthy entrepreneur and world-renowned scientist. He received the Nobel Prize for his work in the cerebral advancement of the chimpanzee and founded the Umbrella Academy, a group of adopted super-powered children. Sir Reginald is cold-hearted, often mistreating and even experimenting on the children for his personal interests. He refuses to let the children call him father, demanding that they address him by his codename The Monocle instead. When speaking to the children, he refers to them by number, which was assigned to the children in terms of "usefulness", and has nothing to do with their actual destructive capabilities. In the season two episode "743", Reginald, a member of the Majestic 12, reveals himself to be some kind of being from another dimension and kills the 12. In the television series, Reginald is portrayed by Colm Feore and appears in all three seasons in a main role. Feore joined the series in February 2018.

Luther Hargreeves, also known as Number One or his superhero alter-ego Spaceboy, is the primary and longest-lasting member of the Umbrella Academy. Luther's principal powers are super-strength and durability. He is portrayed by Tom Hopper as an adult and Cameron Brodeur as a teenager in the television adaptation. After a disastrous mission, Sir Reginald Hargreeves performed surgery on Luther, replacing his body with that of a Martian gorilla, hinted to be the same that damaged his original body. The television adaptation differs – Hargreeves injected a gorilla serum into Luther to save his life, turning Luther into a half-gorilla, half-human. His body can withstand the vacuum and cold of space as long as he has a helmet on. Using his super strength, he primarily fights hand to hand. After his career with The Umbrella Academy, he moved to the moon and lived at the Annihilation. In the comics, he has been shown to have somewhat of a love interest in Number Three, Allison. In the adaptation, their romance is consummated before and after Allison's marriage. He later marries Sloane Hargreeves from the Sparrow Academy timeline.

The A.V. Club highlighted that in the first season of the television adaptation, Luther immediately jumps on investigating Reginald's death and supports Number Five in trying to avert the "apocalypse; when it becomes clear that Vanya and her previously unknown powers are to blame, Luther locks her up. This drives Vanya to give in to her destructive abilities and go on a rampage that ends up causing the apocalypse, but by the time moon debris is actually falling on the planet, Luther recognizes how he hurt Vanya and agrees to bring her with as his siblings decide to go back in time and take another swing at saving the world". In the second season, during the 1960s in Dallas, Luther begins to work for Jack Ruby as a club security guard and as an underground fighter. In the comics "Dallas" storyline, Luther became morbidly obese as part of his struggle with depression. While Luther overeats in the second season, the television adaptation creators decided to avoid the obesity plot after a similar transformation occurred to Thor in Avengers: Endgame.
