List of Australian rules football and cricket players
- List of Australian rules football and cricket players
This is a listing of players to have played both Australian rules football in the nation's premier leagues and first-class cricket or higher. These leagues are the Australian Football League (AFL), formerly the VFL, West Australian Football League (WAFL) and South Australian National Football League (SANFL). Notable players, such as Hall of Famers, from the Tasmanian Football League (TFL) are also included in the list.
In the early years of the VFL it was quite common for footballers to play district cricket over the summer months, some of them even made their state sides and others represented Australia. Likewise cricketers would often play football in the off season to keep fit and if good enough would appear in their state's best league.
