List of British Army first-class cricketers

This is a list of cricketers who played first-class matches for the British Army cricket team. The side played a total of 51 first-class matches between 1912 and 1939. It played the Royal Navy side 14 times in top-level matches, all of which were played at Lord's, and the Royal Air Force five times in first-class matches, but otherwise played mainly against university sides, with Cambridge University (15 times) and Oxford University (11 times) their most frequent opponents in top-level matches. The Army also played MCC three times and against the touring New Zealanders in 1927, South Americans in 1932 and West Indians in 1933. Army cricket teams continue to play organised matches in the modern era, but none have held official status since 1939.

A combined Army and Navy team played three first-class matches between 1910 and 1919, the Combined Services side played 63 first-class matches between 1920 and 1964, and a British Indian Army side played two first-class matches, one in each of the 1926–27 and 1934–35 Indian seasons. Players who appeared in first-class matches for these sides are not included on this list unless they also played for the Army in a first-class match.
