This is a list of fictional characters in the television series Burn Notice. The article deals with the series' main and recurring characters.

Jesse Porter (Coby Bell) is a former Counterintelligence Field Activity agent introduced in the fourth season premiere. He was initially stationed in the field, but his risky and impulsive tactical maneuvers lead to him being demoted to desk duty. Because of his research on the war-profiteering organization that Management was hunting, Michael stole Jesse's work in the course of his investigation, unintentionally resulting in Jesse becoming burned. Jesse came to Michael for help as a fellow burned spy, which Michael accepted. However, the fact that Jesse was insistent on exacting revenge led the team to have to cover their trails leading to his burning. Left with nothing as Michael was, Madeline takes him in as a tenant, and Jesse quickly fits into the team and their regular jobs.

Because of the circumstances of his burning, his old handler Marv believes he is innocent and had been set up; this connection proves vital later in the season. He contacts Jesse, convincing him to help find the people who he believed burned him by locating a bank that the organization attempted a book-cipher Bible, which becomes a major story object.

In the leadup to the mid-season finale, Jesse finds proof of Michael's involvement in his burning and confronts Fiona, whom he leaves alive, in the midst of an operation to take down John Barrett, a major player in the organization that he was hunting. While Fiona, Michael, and Madeline were unsuccessful in convincing him to forgive or work with Michael, he nonetheless appears at the meet, saving Michael from Barrett's men, although the meet ends with the cipher missing and Barrett dead. He later agrees to work with Michael and recovers the book-cipher for them.
