A protagonist () is the main character of a story. The protagonist makes key decisions that affect the plot, primarily influencing the story and propelling it forward, and is often the character who faces the most significant obstacles. If a story contains a subplot, or is a narrative made up of several stories, then each subplot may have its own protagonist.

A particularly noble, virtuous, or accomplished protagonist is commonly called a ''hero,'' though the terms are not synonyms.
