List of Marylebone Cricket Club players (1864–1894)

Cricketers who debuted for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in first-class cricket from the legalisation of overarm bowling in 1864 until the end of the 1894 season are as follows. Many of the players represented MCC after 1894 but they are only listed here, as it was in this period that they made their MCC debuts. 1894 was the last full season before the official definition of first-class cricket was implemented in May 1895.

MCC played all its home matches through the period at its own Lord's venue in north London. Although some players who represented the club were members or ground staff, most were associated with county clubs and appeared for MCC by invitation. MCC teams have always operated at all levels of the sport and players who represented the club in minor cricket only are out of scope here. At this time, MCC had not taken control of overseas tours by the England cricket team and had yet to play any matches outside Great Britain (the first was a visit to Ireland in 1895).

The details are the player's usual name followed by the span of years in which he was active as an MCC player in important matches (the span may include years in which he played in minor matches only for MCC and/or years in which he did not represent MCC in any matches) and then his name is given as it would appear on modern match scorecards (e.g., surname preceded by all initials), followed by the county club or other team with which he was mostly associated (this may be MCC itself). A handful of these players later travelled abroad on winter tours organised by MCC from 1903/04: dates and destinations are given at the end of each relevant entry. Players who took part in early Test cricket, which began in 1877, have their names highlighted in bold text.
