Choleric: Boris. Temperamental, unemotional, blunt, and strongly loyal to his country.
Melancholic: Alexander. Initially comes off as aloof, practical, and sarcastic, all while carrying himself with an air of courtesy. Then it's revealed how cold and spiteful he really is and suddenly his temperament fits him like a glove.
Phlegmatic: Cog. Carefree, snarky, selfless, and rational. On the downside, however, he is stubborn, apathetic, and harbors no ambition beyond working in the fortress.
The eponymous doctors of The Dragon Doctors: Sarin (sanguine), Goro (choleric), Mori (melancholic), Kili (phlegmatic), and Aki (eclectic). Fittingly, they were also compared by the artist to Air, Fire, Earth, and Water, respectively, matching the Four Temperments' elemental affiliations.

Belkar is choleric, being the Hot-Blooded and incredibly kill-happy Token Evil Teammate. Vaarsuvius is melancholic, being the most logical, introverted and neurotic party member. Roy is phlegmatic, being the calm, focused and snarky Only Sane Man. And Durkon is eclectic, being the most well-rounded, passive and low-key of the group.
Their Polandball counterparts are switched up in comparison: Denmark remains the happy-go-lucky Sanguine, but the others are all different - with the sensitive, progressive and empathic Sweden as the phlegmatic; the competitive, hyperactive Norway as the Choleric, and the introverted, brooding Finland as the melancholic.

Ril is choleric - Trigger-Happy, trolling and threatening the rest of the crew, complaining about the way the ship is ran and not-really-secretly wanting to run it himself

Bennesaud is phlegmatic - a generally imperturbable Gentle Giant who relaxes by reading, loyal and moral
Sandra on the Rocks: Domenico's modelling agency fits this pattern, albeit a little loosely:
Domenico himself, the boss and genius photographer, is sanguine; extroverted, emotional, charming, talkative, eccentric (a real Cloudcuckoolander), undisciplined, emotionally unstable, and frivolous.
Zoé, the talent manager (and Domenico's ex-wife), is choleric; extroverted, a hard worker, strong-willed, practical, passionate, hot-tempered, rude, harsh, and insensitive.
Cammi, the agency's driver, is melancholic; introverted, emotional, perfectionist, but a little emotionally distant. However, she is the worst fit of the four because her emotions (including a snarky sense of humor) make her less rigid, conservative, or organized than a classic melancholic.
Tatiana, Domenico's PA (and Ignored Enamored Underling), is phlegmatic; introverted, seemingly calm and unemotional, an excellent assistant, and (sometimes) too yielding. However, she lacks the classic phlegmatic's compassion and truly submissive nature (except in relation to Domenico).
Technically, Fabien, an expert stylist, is a member of the agency, but his role seems to be strictly part-time, and he isn't seen enough for the reader to identify his personality traits. Sandra herself is technically also an employee of the agency, but as the chief protagonist of the story and a new arrival who is being acted on by the others, she stands outside the group.
Vápnthjófr saga: The four leads fits the pattern. Leader-type and team mom Hillevi is Phlegmatic, Plucky and fun-loving Unni is Sanguine, agressive and vengeful Herja is Choleric and anxious, shy Shirin is Melancholic.
Widdershins, specifically "Curtain Call", where the following characters are tasked with chasing down the sins: Wolfe (phlegmatic), Verity (sanguine), Ben (choleric), Sidney (melancholic).
It actually corresponds quite well to which ones were most affected by which deadly sins: wrath was able to get to the extrovert ones (Verity and Ben), sloth got the introvert ones (Wolfe and Sidney), envy influenced the emotionally unstable ones (Sidney and Ben) the most, while pride influenced the emotionally stable (read: most sure of themselves) ones the most (Wolfe and Verity). The other three sins (gluttony, greed, lust) did not have significantly different effects on the four: note that these are all sins related to the "basic desires" of humans.

An entire episode of the webseries CrackedAfter Hours is devoted to discussing how many famous groups of four adhere to this schema, even describing several groups already listed on this page (though it's worth noting that they have misattributed the sanguine qualities to choleric characters, and vice versa). As they are also a quartet, they even describe themselves (indirectly, through analogy to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

Sonic for Hire: While there initially wasn't a properly defined cast of main characters, Season 6 cements these four.
Melancholic: Sonic. Incredibly downtrodden and washed-up following a blowout on his investment in Sega Dreamcast stock, he's desperate to get a job, no matter what it takes. While this makes him the most identifiable, he's still incredibly cynical and, at times, sociopathic.
Choleric: Tails. While he's presented as the Straight Man to the group's antics, such as calling them out for being focused on margaritas while they're trying to find Princess Peach, he's also incredibly temperamental, prone to snapping when things go too wrong, and after he Took a Level in Jerkassin Season 4, he becomes incredibly full of himself, looking down on anybody else but him.
Sanguine: Dr. Eggman. Being both the Token Evil Teammate and The Hedonist, he loves to mess with peoples' lives just for the heck of it, and if there's promise of booze, alcohol, free food, or "coke on tits", he'll be involved with whatever someone's doing.
Sanguine: The Ugly One, has little to no common sense and many odd habits.
Choleric: Cheerleader, the bossy leader and most boy-obsessed of the four.
