- Source: List of Sussex first-class cricketers to 1838
This is a list of cricketers who played for Sussex county cricket teams in first-class cricket matches before the formation of Sussex County Cricket Club in March 1839.
Cricket is generally believed to have originated out of children's bat and ball games in the areas of the Weald and North and South Downs in Kent and Sussex. The two counties and Surrey were the first centres of the game, and matches played by teams using the name Sussex are found as early as 1734. Matches by the side have been considered first-class from 1815, although Brighton Cricket Club played seven first-class matches between 1791 and 1814 and are sometimes considered to be representative of Sussex during this period.
Sussex sides played 58 matches which are considered first-class before Sussex County Cricket Club was founded in March 1839, the first county cricket club to be formed in England. A Sussex Cricket Fund had been established at Brighton in 1836 and this led to the formation of the county club three years later. The club played its first first-class match later the same year, with MCC the opponents at Lord's.
This list includes those who played for Sussex sides in matches which have been given first-class status before the 1839 season. Many players appeared for other teams, but only those who played for Sussex sides have been included here.
