List of Tasmanian representative cricketers

This is a list of cricket players who have played representative cricket for Tasmania in Australia.

It includes players that have played at least one match, in senior First-Class, or List A cricket matches. Practice matches are not included, unless they have officially been classified at First-class tour matches.

The Pura Cup is the premier domestic cricket competition in Australia. It was founded in 1892, however a Tasmanian representative side was not permitted to enter the competition by the Australian Cricket Board (now Cricket Australia) until the 1977-78 season. Even then the first two seasons were on a trial basis only.

Whilst they initially struggled to prove competitive at First-class level, the Tasmanian Tigers won their first domestic trophy in 1978-79, capturing the domestic List A cricket Gillette Cup. This was a success repeated when they won the Ford Ranger Cup in 2004-05, and again in 2007-08. The Tigers also won their first First class cricket title in 2006-07, winning the Pura Cup in that year. Tasmania has also been twice runners-up in the domestic Twenty20 competition.
