Top 10 Best Disney Channel Actresses

Disney Channel has given us some of the most memorable stars to ever grace our screens. From comedy queens who had you laughing until your sides hurt to triple-threat talents who could act, sing, and dance their way into superstardom, these actresses helped shape childhoods and pop culture alike.

You probably grew up watching at least a few of them, following their characters' adventures, drama, and hilarious hijinks. Some made you wish you could be part of their friend group, while others had you glued to every episode, waiting to see what they would do next. And let's be honest, a few even had you convinced you could pull off a ridiculous disguise and nobody would recognize you. Looking at you, secret pop stars.
The Top Ten
Selena Gomez Selena Marie Gomez is an American actress and singer. She is best known for songs like "Come & Get It", "Good For You", "Same Old Love", and "It Ain't Me". Selena Gomez's voice is mezzo-soprano but she usually sings in alto. She is best known for her role as Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place.

She deserves first place because she is very talented, pretty, and has an amazing voice. She's every boy's dream girl, and she is so sweet, kind, and generous. Selena treats people with respect, and I love her so much. I will be a Selenator forever because she stays true to herself - she doesn't try to change who she is.

She hasn't had any surgery, and most of the time, she prefers not to wear makeup. I met her once, and that was enough for me to see what a beautiful, kind angel she is. I can't even describe her kindness in words. She has no problems being herself and always tries to treat people with respect.

For those who hate Selena, I don't understand why they do such stupid things. She's just human like the rest of us, and if you haven't met her in person, you'll never understand how perfect she is. Selena Gomez, I love you!

Debby Ryan Deborah Ann "Debby" Ryan is an American actress, director, and singer. Ryan is known for starring as Jessie Prescott in the Disney Channel Original Series Jessie and as Bailey Pickett in Disney Channel's The Suite Life on Deck.

I love Debby Ryan. She should be first on the list. Everything she is in is amazing. In fact, my favorite Disney shows are Jessie and The Suite Life on Deck. My favorite movie is Radio Rebel. She is a great actress and she is beautiful.

Debby is a sweet girl. She is really nice, but Selena will always be my number 1. Debby did get pulled over on April 5 because she was driving while intoxicated. She isn't the best role model, but she is an amazing person.

I do think Debby Ryan is pretty, not that it matters... But the reason I think she's like, awesome is because she is such a talented singer and I think she's WAY better than Sabrina Carpenter at singing and acting. How do you guys even like Sabrina? If she was on this poll you guys would all vote for her.

Ashley Tisdale Ashley Michelle Tisdale is an American actress, singer, and producer. During her childhood, she appeared in more than 100 TV advertisements and had roles in theatre and television shows. She is well known for playing the character Maddie Fitzpatrick in the Disney Channel show "The Suite Life of Zack... read more

I love Ashley Tisdale! She is one of my top three role models. She is great in all of her movies. Don't y'all think? Love her attitude! Love High School Musical 1, 2, and 3! Also love Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure. She is a great person!

Ashley Tisdale should be number 1. She is the best actor that ever stepped into Disney, and she is a great singer too. Like her Guilty Pleasure album - that was her best album in 2009. And I like her in High School Musical, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and the Aliens in the Attic movie.

I love pink too! She's so beautiful and... She's perfect!

Brenda Song

I think that Brenda Song is beautiful and a good actress. I think she's a lot better than Miley Cyrus!

She is the prettiest girl on TV and she's hilarious. She is a super good actress, and I'm pretty sure she has a loving heart.

Brenda Song is a great actress. She is great in Suite Life. She shouldn't have been 9th.

Peyton List Peyton Roi List is an American actress and model. List is best known for playing Emma Ross on the Disney Channel comedy series Jessie and Holly Hills in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid film series.

She is beautiful and a really great actress. Her styles are amazing, and her Instagram pics are the best. I love you, Peyton!

She is nothing like Emma. She is super nice and sweet in real life.

She is the most beautiful woman on Disney today! How is she not #1?

Miley Cyrus Miley Ray Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus), known professionally as Miley Cyrus, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is Mezzo-Soprano and spans 4 octaves... read more

I love her voice especially when she sings The Climb and Wrecking Ball. I understand why she wants to shed her good girl image but she's doing it in such an annoying way. That's all. If she could tone down her attitude and stop wearing thongs on stage at concerts, I would love not only her music but her!

Miley is perfect the way she is. How she is now or before is none of your business. People don't judge you, so don't do the same. Would you like that? People judging you for everything you do, being followed by fans, or saying you're ugly is none of your business.

Mandy Moore Amanda Leigh "Mandy" Moore is an American singer-songwriter and actress. Moore first came to prominence with her 1999 debut single, Candy, which peaked at number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100... read more
Eden Sher Eden Rebecca Sher is an American actress.

Bridgit Mendler Bridgit Claire Mendler is an American actress, singer, and songwriter. In 2004, she began her career in the animated Indian film The Legend of Buddha.

If she ever expresses interest in coming back to do more acting again, then she should seriously be considered for the voice of Rosalina in Illumination Entertainment's Mario movie franchise, since she's basically a powerful blonde space princess at this point.

Of all the Disney actresses, Bridgit is the most natural-born actress. She makes her roles very believable and makes acting seem effortless. She's the reason my favorite Disney show is Good Luck Charlie, and my favorite movie is Lemonade Mouth! Plus, I am way older than she is but have downloaded ALL her songs!

Demi Lovato Demetria Devonne "Demi" Lovato is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. After appearing on the children's television series Barney & Friends as a child, she received her breakthrough role as Mitchie Torres in the Disney Channel television film Camp Rock and its sequel Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam... read more

Demi Lovato is an amazing singer that can probably hit higher notes than every other person on this list. Let's be honest, she is Christina Aguilera-level good, not just another pop singer. Now, as far as her acting career goes, I don't think that she had the opportunity to showcase her talent. Her character in Sonny With a Chance is a one-dimensional typical bubbly Disney character. I wish she would star in more movies, playing different roles so she could really show who she is.

Demi Lovato is just the best. She has been my inspiration since I was 5, and up till now, she is so beautiful. Her singing is just amazing. I could listen to her all day! Her acting is really really good, and after she shared her secret about cutting herself, I love her even more! She should definitely be on the top, not that Selena. She can't even sing!

Dove Cameron Dove Cameron is an American actress and singer. She is known for playing a dual role as both title characters in the Disney Channel teen sitcom Liv and Maddie, which ran from 2013 - 2017.

Dove Cameron has one of the most beautiful singing voices I've ever heard. Liv and Maddie is my favorite show on Disney Channel too. You have to admit that Dove Cameron has serious talent because having to play two people must be super stressful. Not to mention twins that are polar opposites.

Now, her acting itself could be better in some ways, but overall, I LOVE DOVE! She's such an inspiration to me and a lot of people I know who watch her movies, Liv and Maddie, listen to The Girl and the Dreamcatcher (which I also love), etc. Liv totally deserves to be number 1!

Love you, Liv. Keep inspiring!

Zendaya Coleman Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman is an American actress, singer and producer. She began her career as a child model and backup dancer, before gaining prominence for her role as Rocky Blue on the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up. Her film roles include supporting parts in the musical drama The Greatest... read more

AMAZING DANCER, SINGER! You can tell that she can actually sing unlike some other Disney actresses (Bella Thorne). Bella Thorne can't dance or sing, and Zendaya is so much better. Bella Thorne's dad might have died, and I do feel sorry. Bella Thorne is going to be the next Miley Cyrus, dressing all naked and engaging in explicit behavior. ZENDAYA IS BETTER.

I know Zendaya will get higher on this list and all the other Disney star lists. Bella Thorne was given all the good stuff on "Shake It Up", and it was not at all fair. But Zendaya will get some good time in the spotlight on her new show, "Super Awesome Katy" next year, and she will really show herself.

Christy Carlson Romano Christy Carlson Romano is an American actress and singer. She is known for her role as Ren Stevens in the Disney Channel sitcom Even Stevens, and as the voice of the titular character in the Disney Channel animated series Kim Possible.
Olivia Holt Olivia Hastings Holt is an American actress and singer who starred in the Disney Channel Original Series I Didn't Do It.

She's pretty. On Kickin' It, she really had a beautiful beauty and every boy had a crush on her. If I was a boy, I would go for her. Loved her a lot and I still think she's pretty.

She's pretty, and I think she could really have a career in comedy and drama films. I hope that happens for her. I would love to act with her.

She is most definitely the best. Not only is she pretty, but she and Leo Howard play the best love connection ever!

Vanessa Hudgens Vanessa Anne Hudgens is an American actress and singer. Hudgens rose to prominence playing Gabriella Montez in the High School Musical series.

She is my role model. I grew up watching her for so long. I love High School Musical, all three of them. She is the best!

She can sing, dance, act, and be pretty! Sorry, Vanessa, I hate High School Musical.

I love her really much. Vanessa is the best girl, but I hope you'll keep staying a nice girl and don't be like Miley. She sucks. I hate her.

Hilary Duff Hilary Erhard Duff is an American actress and singer. Duff began her acting career at a young age and quickly became labeled a teen idol as the starring titular character in the television series Lizzie McGuire She has also starred in Cheaper by the Dozen and A Cinderella Story

Love her forever. She has grown up, but remains dignified and graceful. She is beautiful, smart, and successful. A great role model for young girls.

I wish she was in the Top 10! She aged gracefully and now has a much deeper voice than she had during her younger years. I loved her as Lizzie McGuire!

She was a sweetie. She is the original Disney teen idol. She was a great role model.

G Hannelius

She's pretty and all, but Dog with a Blog is the worst show ever. Like, seriously, a dog that talks and writes a blog! It's so dumb! Dog with a Blog isn't funny at all! This and Girl Meets World are both the worst shows. A good actress like G Hannelius should be on a better show!

I mean, she's such a good actor on Sonny With a Chance and Dog with a Blog. It's fair that Selena, Demi, Miley, and Debbie are up there, but I think that people should praise her.

G is amazing and she's so funny in Dog with a Blog. I get so crazy when my older brother says, "Katie, Dog with a Blog is on!" I love it. G, keep up the work, girlfriend!

Daveigh Chase
Emily Osment

She's good. At least she did not go crazy like Miley (sorry Miley). She was funny in the show. Thank you for not going crazy like Miley (sorry again Miley).

China Anne McClain is a singer for her band, McClain, which she is in along with her sisters, Lauryn and Sierra . China Anne McClain is known for her starring roles in Disney's Ant Farm, and Tyler... read more

It's not like A.N.T Farm and How To Build a Better Boy were that good, but she is a great person in general. Although A.N.T Farm was the only other show to talk about black history.

She should be number 1 for her voice and charismatic acting.

She is the best singer EVER! But she can still act and dance like nobody is watching.

Melissa Joan Hart Melissa Joan Hart is an American actress, director, producer, singer, fashion designer, and businesswoman. She is known for her roles in Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Melissa & Joey, and No Good Nick
Aly Michalka

Aly is the best singer of all the Disney females, along with her sister, and the best looking.
