Indianapolis Clowns all-time roster

The following is the list of players on the Indianapolis Clowns all-time roster. These are Indianapolis Clowns players who appeared in at least one game for the Clowns, while in either Indianapolis, Cincinnati or Buffalo from 1943 to 1965.

On-going research continuously discovers unreported or misreported games (and the affected players), while some games and players may be lost forever. Therefore, some Negro league players' affiliations will likely remain incomplete and possibly disputed.
