The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (often shortened to TMNT or Ninja Turtles) are a fictional team of (usually) four teenage anthropomorphic turtles - Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo - named after four Renaissance artists, who were trained by their anthropomorphic rat sensei, Splinter in the art of ninjutsu. From their home in the storm sewers of New York City, they battle petty criminals, evil overlords, mutated animals, and alien invaders while attempting to remain isolated from society.
The characters originated in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book before their expansion into a cartoon series, films, video games, toys, and other general merchandise. During the peak of franchise’s popularity in the late 1980s through the early 1990s, the franchise gained considerable worldwide success and fame.

- Kevin Eastman's then-wife, Julie Strain, was intended to portray a villain known as Stilzar in Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. His current wife, Courtney Eastman, voiced April O'Neil in the short Pizza Friday.
- As of this writing, nobody is certain where Irma's now-canon surname of Langenstein originated. It appeared on fan sites and cast lists throughout the 1990s and 2000s but never appeared on or in an official work until 2011.
- The character known mostly as Granitor was never addressed by name in the 1987 TV series. The name originated from the manual of the Nintendo Entertainment System version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game. In an audiobook version of the Archie Comics adaptation, a generic Stone Warrior resembling Traag with "Granitor"'s role is given a name that sounds like Morg. The Japanese book Mutant Turtles Himitsu Ōhyakka calls the character from the 1987 TV series "Mōgu" (モーグ), which can be translated as Morg, Moorg, Morgue, or many similar names.
- The trading cards for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gives a couple of characters full names that are not corroborated elsewhere: Dirk Walker and Mitsu Omura,
