Sarah Walker is the alias of one of the main characters of the fictional television show Chuck on NBC. She is portrayed by Yvonne Strahovski and is one of two agents assigned by the NSA and CIA to protect Chuck Bartowski after he accidentally downloads the secret government computer known as the Intersect into his brain. She is the leading female character and love interest of Chuck Bartowski.

Very little information about Sarah's past has been revealed so far. The only person outside of her family confirmed to know her real name (via her birth certificate) is Director Graham, and it is otherwise only known for certain her middle name is Lisa. Her father was a con artist and much of her youth was spent moving from city to city as part of his ongoing schemes.

Among the aliases she used as a child were Jenny Burton, Katie O'Connell and Rebecca Franco. She attended at least her senior year of high school—and graduated in 1998—under the alias of Jenny Burton. While playing "Know Ya!" at the beginning of "Chuck Versus the Wookiee," she mentions having a sister; however, it is currently unknown whether this is true or part of the identity she created as part of her cover.

Nothing has been revealed about Sarah's mother. She has mentioned having a sister at the age of nine, but it is yet unknown whether this is true. Recent episodes have revealed that as a child growing up, Sarah was not only aware of her father's activities, but actively participated in them.

One of their scams involved Sarah fooling an armored car driver into thinking she'd been hit by the vehicle while riding her bike, while her father claimed to be a doctor and examined her. During the confusion, he would then lift money from the vehicle. Another trick was the "Lichtenstein," in which her father would masquerade as a struggling German inventor or businessman attempting to unload an invention or other valuable commodity that never actually existed.

Christmases were spent scamming the Salvation Army. Sometime in 1998 before her graduation, Sarah's father was arrested for his own protection after a scam went wrong and put his life in danger. He left her a hidden cache of money for just such an emergency, and it was while recovering this that she was first approached by CIA director Graham.

He took her in as a protege after remarking on her many aliases as a child and gave her the cover name of Sarah Walker. Although apparently 'recruited' at this point, flashbacks make it clear that she continued in high school; several of the popular children cruelly mocked her as the 'jailbird's daughter' because of her father's imprisonment. According to NBC.com's Spy Dossiers she was (officially) recruited out of Harvard University.
