List of Uncle Remus characters

This is a list of fictional characters in the book The Complete Tales of Uncle Remus. Uncle Remus himself, and a couple of boys to whom he tells the tales, appear as framing devices and narrators in all the stories. The stories of Uncle Remus' visitor Daddy Jack often also include unnamed stock roles such as a daughter, a foolish bird, a man, a mother, a snake, a wise bird, and a witch.

In the collection The Tales From Daddy Jake, the Runaway, & Short Stories Told After Dark, Uncle Remus also uses unnamed stock roles including a miller, his wife, and a preacher (in "How a Witch Was Caught"); a man and his wife (in "The Foolish Woman"); and a slave and master (in "Death & the Negro Man").

In the collection The Tales From Uncle Remus & His Friends, Remus uses an unnamed king (in "The King That Talked Biggity"); two unnamed men, one who fools the other (in both "According to How the Drop Falls" and in "The Man & His Boots"); and an unnamed protagonist who acts foolishly but grows rich anyhow (in "A Fool for Luck").

In the collection Told By Uncle Remus, an unnamed man, wife, and magical dinner pot appear in the story "The Hard-Headed Woman".

In the collection Seven Tales of Uncle Remus, an unnamed woman squares off against a witch baby in "The Baby & the Punkins".
