List of Bristol City F.C. players

This is a list of notable footballers who have played for Bristol City. The aim is for this list to include all players that have played 100 or more senior matches for the club. Other players who are deemed to have played an important role for the club can be included, but the reason for their notability should be included in the 'Notes' column.

For a list of all Bristol City players with a Wikipedia article, see Category:Bristol City F.C. players, and for the current squad see Bristol City F.C.#Current squad.
