List of Namibian first-class cricketers
# List of Namibian first-class cricketers

This is a list in alphabetical order of Namibian cricketers who have played first-class cricket. Prior to 1915, what is today Namibia was German South West Africa, a German colony. Cricket was recorded as being played in German South West Africa prior to the First World War, and later during the war by occupying South African troops. When the former colony was incorporated into South Africa following the war, cricket grew in popularity. What was the Territory of South West Africa gained independence from South Africa in 1990, with a Namibian cricket team having been formed in 1989. The national team first played first-class cricket in the 2004 Intercontinental Cup against Uganda at Windhoek. In the 2006-07 South African cricket season, Namibia were added to the CSA 3-Day Cup, the second tier of first-class cricket in South Africa; this arrangement lasted until 2018, when Namibia withdrew citing issues around costs and logistics. The team continued to play first-class cricket in the Intercontinental Cup until its discontinuation of the Intercontinental Cup in 2017. Namibia played a total of 155 first-class matches between 2004 and 2018.

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a first-class 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 Namibia. Players are shown to the end of the 2021–22 season.
