List of Kent County Cricket Club players

This is a list of Kent County Cricket Club players who have played cricket for the side since the club was founded on 6 August 1842. This includes performances in first-class, List A and Twenty20 competitions. The Kent teams formed by earlier organisations from the early 18th century had top-class status with many games retrospectively given first-class status. Players who played only for those teams are not included in this list but can be seen in List of Kent county cricketers to 1842

The new club played a single major match in the 1842 season against All-England at White Hart Field in Bromley on 25, 26 and 27 August. The team on that occasion was Tom Adams, William Baker, Edward Banks, William Dorrinton, William Hillyer, John Lefeaver, Will Martingell, Alfred Mynn, Fuller Pilch, William Smith and Ned Wenman.

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a Kent player and then his name is given as it would appear on modern match scorecards (i.e. usually his surname preceded by all initials). Note that many players represented other first-class teams besides Kent. Current players are shown as active to the current or most recently completed season.
