The Character Narrator, main protagonist, and the Boss Baby's 7-year-old brother.
- Alliterative Name: Tim Templeton.
- Aloof Big Brother: Tim is initially not excited over having a baby brother, mainly because his parents become too busy to spend time with him like they use to.

- Awesome Mc Cool Name: His Self-Applied Nickname Marcos Lightspeed in the sequel.
- Badass Adorable: Don't let his cute, innocent looks fool you. He's one courageous little boy.
- Berserk Button: Do not break his stuffed toy Lam-Lam. He was willing to throw Boss Baby out of the window for it.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Tim is a sweet kid but was willing to catapult Boss Baby for pushing his Berserk Button.
- Big Brother Bully: Towards Boss Baby at first, out of fear that he'll take up all the attention from his parents. He gets better though.
- Big Brother Instinct: Grows into having this for the Boss Baby as they both grow to genuinely love one another. During the climax, Tim sings the song his parents would sing to him to calm down a scared Boss Baby.
- Big Brother Mentor: Played with in the sequel as he helps Tabitha to build up her confidence with singing while temporarily restored to his child self.
- Big "YES!": He's prone to them when something goes his way.
- Book Dumb: Tim is imaginative, clever, and adventurous, but gets mostly Cs and Ds in school, something that the Boss Baby tries to use against him.
- As a consequence of this in the sequel, he briefly takes Tabitha's place as the class Butt-Monkey when he's restored to his child self in order to infiltrate her school.
- Butt-Monkey: Tim falls victim to a lot of slapstick in the movie.
- Character Narrator: His adult self narrates the movie.
- Cheerful Child: Definitely. Tim is an imaginative, energetic, friendly 7-year-old kid.
- Companion Cube: He has his Lamb Lamb, which the Boss Baby makes fun of. The Boss Baby then threatens Tim through his Lamb Lamb, and their fighting eventually results in Lamb Lamb being badly ripped. At the end of the film, Boss Baby presents Tim with a repaired Lamb Lamb, and in the epilogue, it is shown to have been passed on to Tim's daughter.
- Cool Big Bro: Over time, he becomes a much kinder big brother to Boss Baby.
- Doting Parent: To Tabitha and Tina in the sequel.
- Embarrassing Middle Name: His middle name is Leslie, which the Boss Baby can't stop chuckling about whenever it's mentioned.
- Extremely Protective Child: Tim is very protective over his parents.
- Fish out of Water: Naturally, because his Book Dumb tendencies during his own school days, he is this while posing as a new student in Tabitha's class.
- Good Parents: As an adult, he is now a father of his two daughters, one the same age as he was when he became a big brother and the other a newborn. For the former, he makes sure to tell that no matter how busy he is with her sister, he'll never stop loving her. And for the latter, he is nothing but ecstatic and welcoming over her being in the family.
- Groin Attack: Surprisingly for someone his age, he's on the receiving end of it at one scene, when the Boss Baby throws his squeaky toy and hits him down there.
- Grounded Forever: Subverted. Tim's parents initially ground him "forever" when he's caught trying to catapult the baby out of the window, but they later unground him when they see Tim and the baby playing together in various charming ways.
- Hidden Depths: In the sequel, he is adept at playing the guitar and uses this skill to help Tabitha build up her confidence with singing.
- House Husband: His wife is their family's breadwinner and he's seen cooking their meals at the beginning of the second movie.
- Innocent Blue Eyes: He's a cheerful, friendly, imaginative child with big, blue eyes.
- In Touch with His Feminine Side: He's open about his emotions and carries a stuffed lamb toy named Lam-Lam.
- Kid Hero: He's only seven years old, but he's nonetheless able to face off against foes seven times his size and age.
- Mr. Imagination: He has a greatly vivid imagination and his teaching the Boss Baby to share the jobs of it.
- Morality Pet: While Boss Baby does love his parents, it's Tim he shows the most love for out of everyone in his life. Tim helps to turn Boss Baby into a better person. Boss Baby truly does love Tim more than anyone or anything. It's even commented on in the show how Tim changed Boss Baby.
- Motor Mouth: In the show, particularly when he's lying.
- Nice Guy: He's sweet, friendly, and polite.
- No-Respect Guy: In the sequel.
- Not Helping Your Case:
- Sure Tim, tell your parents that the Boss Baby can talk as soon as they catch you trying to catapult him out the window. They won't think you're crazy at all.
- Tim also fails to mention that the Boss Baby ripped apart Lam-Lam, which provoked him to catapult him in the first place. Though, to be fair, that most likely wouldn't have helped either, given that Tim was still technically putting Boss Baby's life in danger.
- Papa Wolf: He is determined to make Tabitha's school play in the sequel, he even helps her to practice for said play while temporarily restored to his child self.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: When he's turned back into his 7 year old self in the sequel, he wears glasses so no-one will recognise him, his now-elderly parents nearly see through the ruse but it works.
- His oldest daughter also doesn't recognise him despite the fact that he retains his adult voice after being turned back into his child self.
- Secret-Keeper: At the end of the movie, he is allowed to retain his memory of the existence of Baby Corp, making him one of the only people who know about it.
- Self-Applied Nickname: He hastily calls himself Marcos Lightspeed after almost using his real name upon Tabitha meeting him in his temporarily restored child self in the sequel.
- Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The sensitive guy to Boss Baby's manly man.
- Sibling Team: With the Boss Baby. While it was initially antagonistic with them only working together so they won't have to be with each other again, the brothers slowly form a tight bond over the movie that allows them to work together.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: The child-like, imaginative, and family-oriented Tim to the adult-like, serious, and career-oriented Boss Baby.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Besides strongly resembling his father sans the eye color which he got from his mother, his eldest daughter looks exactly like him but with hair decorations and a different hairstyle.
- Surrounded by Smart People: In the series, he takes this role for his brother's field team, mostly due to his not being a technical member of Baby Corp.
- He finds himself in this situation while infiltrating Tabitha's school in the sequel.
- The Un-Favourite: This is what Tim fears becoming following the arrival of the Boss Baby; it's what the Boss Baby fears babies will become to puppies if Francis E. Francis's plan succeeds. In the end, Tim's act of kindness in inviting the Boss Baby back into his family inspires the Boss Baby to do something that ratchets love for both babies and puppies, as well as several other things, up to 999% before quitting Baby Corp and allowing himself to be born as a normal baby so that he can join Tim's family.
- His parents confess to not liking him in his Marcos Lightspeed persona in the sequel.
- Unreliable Narrator: Used mildly; it is eventually revealed that the entire film is Tim's fanciful recollection to his young daughter about how he coped with the arrival of a new sibling. This also serves to justify the more fantastical elements of the story. Summary material for the film specifically states that it is "told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator." Exactly how much we're supposed to believe about what happened within the universe of the film is unclear and even Tabitha starts to question the validity of Tim's version of events in the sequel.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: carries this role in the series.
- Would Hurt a Child: He didn't hesitate to attempt to catapult Boss Baby out of a window for ripping Lam-Lam.
- You Can Talk?: He asks this ad verbatim upon hearing Boss Baby carrying on a telephone conversation in his room.Tim: You can talk?Boss Baby: Uh, goo-goo ga-ga.Tim: No, you can really talk. I heard from you!
- He has a near identical reaction in the sequel when he discovers his infant daughter Tina is a Boss Baby, except this time, it's much worse as he promptly faints.
- You Have to Believe Me!: He tried early on to prove to his parents that the Boss Baby can speak like an adult. His efforts, however, only cause him to be grounded by them.
- He has a similarly hard time convincing his now-grown-up brother that his youngest daughter Tina is a Boss Baby in the sequel.
Theodore Lindsey "Ted" Templeton
Voiced by: Alec Baldwin (English) (movie), JP Karliak (TV series), Mario Arvizu (Mexican Spanish), Tsuyoshi Muro (Japanese/theater version), Chō (Japanese/In-flight version), Yoshito Yasuhara (Japanese/TV series)
A baby with the mind of an adult.
- Alliterative Name: After officially joining the Templeton family, he is now Theodore (or Ted) Templeton.
- Aloof Big Brother: Inverted. He's younger than Tim but acts quite dismissive and cold to Tim, especially in the sequel.
- Ancestral Name: Shares his given name, Theodore, with his father.
- Badass Adorable: By him being a baby, of course.
- Benevolent Boss: Despite his coldness towards Tim (at least initially), he seems to be a decent boss overall, and treats his subordinates with a good amount of respect, to the point where they actually do enjoy working for him.
- Big Brother Instinct: Inverted with Boss Baby since he is younger than Tim, but he gradually becomes very protective of Tim in the move. This carries over into the cartoon series.
- Born as an Adult: More on a mental level than a physical one. As he puts it, "I may look like a baby, but I was born all grown up."
- Broken Pedestal: Boss Baby aspires to be as successful as Super Colossal Big Fat Boss Baby. Unfortunately, SCBFBB grew up and became Francis E. Francis, the CEO of PuppyCo out for revenge against BabyCorp for getting rid of him because the anti-aging formula wasn't working on him due to his lactose intolerance. Boss Baby is horrified to learn the truth.
- Butt-Monkey: If it doesn't happen to Leslie, it's happening to Lindsay instead.
- Cool Uncle: Becomes this for Tim's daughter when the two are all grown up. Giving her affectionate rub on her head while congratulating on her being a big sister and then giving her some money to cheer her up.
- Create Your Own Villain: He stole Mega-Fat CEO Baby's hanging cat poster idea and passed it off as his own. This caused Mega-Fat to hate him and do almost anything to get him fired.
- Also the cat in said poster was Bootsy Calico's cat mother, which caused Bootsy to hate him for turning her into a global laughingstock. Though this is somewhat played with as the poster itself was actually Mega-Fat's idea, Boss Baby just took credit for it.
- Dark Is Not Evil: He wears a black suit and while he's a jerk, he is trying to save Baby Corp.
- Deadpan Snarker: Sarcastic as much as is possible.
- Deal with the Devil: He nearly does this in the sequel until he realises what The Big Bad intends to do.
- Dreary Half-Lidded Eyes: He always has his eyelids lowered with one eyebrow raised to emphasize his no-nonsense, snarky personality.
- Embarrassing Middle Name: After he joins the Templetons for good in the first movie's epilogue, he earns the middle name Lindsay, which Tim chuckles at the mention of it.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Downplayed, but in the TV series his strictly business-oriented mind (that views love like we view money) has trouble grasping the affairs of the heart and has no problem openly admitting such to his brother.
- Grade-School C.E.O.: Babies in fact run their entire company, and the baby of the title is just one employee of a massive company. The babies are sometimes placed magically with families as cover for their work.
- It's All About Me: He adopts such an attitude as an adult in the sequel, being turned back into a baby intially doesn't change this.
- I Work Alone: He is absolutely insistent on this in the sequel...or at least not working with Tim. Tina and Tim overrule him but he maintains this attitude even when they're infiltrating Tabitha's school.
- Jerkass: Initially towards Tim in both the original film and the sequel, he's much worse in the latter as he's like this towards his youngest niece Tina as well as his brother.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Boss Baby wasn't wrong in that the reason behind Tim being grounded came from the latter getting into his business, something Boss Baby advised him against earlier.Boss Baby: I told you to stay out of my way.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's sarcastic and smug, but ultimately has a good heart.
- Kick the Dog: Profitable to Baby Corp or not, he was quite mean to Tim when he basically rubs it in his face that his parents are going to pay more attention to the newborn baby.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: His first name, Ted is never used in the series, although presumably, everyone knows it by this point. Instead, he's called "Boss", "Boss Baby", or "BB" by everyone outside of his family. Within his family, he's usually "the baby".
- My God, What Have I Done?: Even he realizes that ripping the head off of Lam-Lam was one step too far. It is notable that after this point, he actually starts trying to work things out with Tim, instead of simply berating and threatening him as he has done previously. He also gives the reaction several times throughout the series, usually just after hurting Tim.Boss Baby:Whoops. Too far.
- Never My Fault: Whenever things go wrong in the sequel.
- No Name Given: For almost the whole movie, the Boss Baby is simply called as such. We say "almost" because, in the future where he's all grown up, he's called Uncle Ted.
- Pet the Dog: Or, more to the point, pet Precious the pony in the sequel...at Tim's expense.
- Secondary Character Title: His name is the title of the movie, but Tim is the protagonist. Untrue of the Netflix series in which BB is the protagonist.
- Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The manly man to Tim and Jimbo's sensitive guys.
- Sharp-Dressed Man: "Sharp Dressed Baby". Always seen wearing his classic black suit. Tim even points this out to his parents.
- Sibling Team: With Tim. While it was initially antagonistic with them only working together so they won't have to be with each other again, the brothers slowly form a tight bond over the movie that allows them to work together.
- This is deconstructed in the sequel as he is determined to uncover Dr. Armstrong's plot all by himself, despite his youngest niece Tina's repeated reminders that he and Tim are supposed to be working together.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: The adult-like, serious, and career-oriented Boss Baby to the child-like, imaginative, and family-oriented Tim.
- So Proud of You: As adults and at the hospital to get a first look at Tim's second child, Ted Jr. states how proud he is of Tim.
- The Stoic: Unless he realises he's pushed Tim too far. He is particularly so in the sequel.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Initially, Boss Baby just thinks of Tim as an annoying nuisance, but comes to love him as a brother.
- This is averted in the sequel when he and Tim are forcibly reunited by Tina and he has to do this all over again.
- Vocal Dissonance: The whole movie's premise revolves around his gravelly voice being on an infant.
- Workaholic: Tim describes him as only caring about work in the sequel.
- You, Get Me Coffee: After Tim discovers him he can talk:Boss Baby: Get me a double espresso, and see if there's someplace around here with decent sushi. I would kill for a spicy tuna roll right about now.

Boss Baby's secretary in the movie versus being his Number Two in the Netflix series.

- Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Expect Staci's lack of morals and wild attitude to be commented on multiple times a season in the series.
- The Illegible: In the movie, Staci functions as Boss Baby's secretary, but she doodles as opposed to taking notes because she can't read. In the series, this attribute is removed.

- Pink Means Feminine: Wears a pink tutu.
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: has this relationship with Boss Baby in the movie.
- Sarcastic Devotee: While Staci has her own sense of Undying Loyalty to Boss Baby, she's not above calling him out or screwing with his plans if she thinks he's in the wrong.
- Undying Loyalty: To Boss Baby. To the point she threatens to quit when Boss Baby is fired at the start of season 3.
Jimbo
Voiced by: David Soren (English) (movie), Kevin Michael Richardson (TV series), Masafumi Kobatake (Japanese/theater version), Kousuke Goto (Japanese/in-flight version)

Characters Introduced in The Boss Baby: Back in Business
Mega Fat CEO Baby
Voiced by: Flula Borg (English), Naoya Uchida (Japanese)
- Acrofatic: Although he primarily uses a baby Walker to get around at Baby Corp (though that’s probably more due to laziness), Mega Fat is actually very agile for his size. He’s also adept at the Baby martial art “Goo-Goo Kai”.
- Affectionate Nickname: He is called "Chubster" and "Chubby-wubby" by his adoptive mother.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: plays this to Bootsy Calico in season 1.
- Create Your Own Villain: The whole reason Mega Fat is out to get BB fired in the first place? Is because he took all the credit for his “Hang in there, kitty” poster.
- Death of Personality: Mega Fat’s ultimate fate in the season 3 finale when his temporary supply of Baby Corp formula runs out. He is reduced to a regular Baby; though he gets to continue his life.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He truly loves his adoptive mother, Marsha Krinkle, and tries to be a "good baby" for her.
- Heel–Face Turn: Makes one in season 3.
- Heroic Sacrifice: A non-lethal variant; he gives up his life as a (former) Baby Corp. baby in order to stop Happy Sedengry from breaking the playgroup's parents' minds.
- Karma Houdini: Subverted. Although Bootsy Calico never targets Mega Fat for making the “Hang in there Kitty” poster, thus letting him blame Boss Baby, he ultimately does get fired via Magnus spilling the beans about their deal in the first place.
- Love Redeems: A familial version, since Marsha Krinkle's maternal love for him helps him pull a Heel–Face Turn.
- Never My Fault: Fully blames Boss Baby for getting him fired in season 2, though had he not teamed up with Bootsy Calico he might still have a job...
- Only Known by Their Nickname: He is never given a real name in the series. He is always called "Mega Fat (Insert description) baby", even after getting adopted.
