This is a list in alphabetical order of cricketers who have played for Cambridge University Cricket Club (CUCC) in top-class matches since the club was established in 1820. Until 2020, a number of CUCC matches had first-class cricket status.[1][2][3] In 1972 and 1974 the team also played official List A cricket matches.[4]

Some CUCC players have been members of teams representing combinations of British Universities or, from 2001, the Cambridge University Centre of Cricketing Excellence (CUCCE), later rebranded the Cambridge MCCU. These team included students from Anglia Ruskin University, as well as Cambridge University, and played some first-class matches. After the establishment of Cambridge UCCE, the annual three-day first-class University Match against Oxford University Cricket Club was replaced by a one-day match against Oxford at Lord's and a four-day first-class match against Oxford, alternating between Fenner's and The University Parks. The 2020 fixture was the last match with first-class status, although the fixture is still played.[5] This list includes only those players who have represented CUCC itself in first-class matches. Players who have represented the Cambridge UCCE and MCCU In first-class matches can be found in List of Cambridge UCCE & MCCU players.

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a CUCC player and then his name is given as it would appear on modern match scorecards. Note that many players represented other first-class teams besides CUCC.[6]
