This is an incomplete list in alphabetical order of cricketers who played for Sheffield Cricket Club in historically important matches. Sheffield was superseded by Yorkshire County Cricket Club, which it founded in 1841. Some of the earlier teams fielded by Sheffield were styled Yorkshire, and its players in those games are included here. Sheffield is classified by recognised sources as an important team from 1771 to 1863.
Note that some players represented other important teams besides Sheffield, and that several also played for the county club in or after 1863. Those who played only for the county club from 1863 are not included here, but are instead named in the county club list. The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a Sheffield player, and then his name is given as it usually appears on match scorecards.
