This is a list in alphabetical order of cricketers who have played for Lancashire County Cricket Club in top-class matches since the club was founded in 1864. Lancashire have held first-class cricket, first-class status since their inaugural match in 1865. The details are the player's usual name followed by the seasons in which he was active as a Lancashire player. 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. Many players represented other top-class teams besides Lancashire and some played for the old Manchester Cricket Club before 1864. Eight of those represented a Manchester team styled Lancashire in 1864 before going on to play in first-class matches for the new club from 1865. Players who represented the county before 1865 are included if they also played for the county club but excluded if not. The list has been updated to the end of the 2023 cricket season. ...

Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side either catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground, or hitting a wicket with the ball before a batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket. When ten batters have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee ...
