This is a list in alphabetical order of cricketers who have played for Gloucestershire County Cricket Club in top-class matches since the club was founded in 1870. Gloucestershire has always had first-class status.[1] It has been a List A team since the beginning of limited overs cricket in 1963;[2] and a top-class Twenty20 team since the inauguration of the Twenty20 Cup in 2003.[3]

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a Gloucestershire player and then his name is given as it would appear on modern match scorecards. Note that many players represented other top-class teams besides Gloucestershire and some, including the Grace brothers, played for teams styled Gloucestershire before 1870. Current players are shown as active to the latest season in which they played for the club. The list excludes Second XI and other players who did not play for the club's first team; and players whose first team appearances were in minor matches only.[4]
