This article is a list of characters and actors from the Alien vs. Predator franchise spanning two films: Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007). These films brought together the fictional storylines and creatures of the Alien and Predator science fiction franchises, serving as sequels to the two Predator films and prequels to the four Alien films, since Ellen Ripley does not appear in them. Although the creatures had previously been crossed-over in other media such as comic books and video games, these films represented the first time that they had appeared together in feature films.
