List of Nepalese first-class cricketers

This is a list of Nepalese first-class cricketers. First-class cricket matches are those between international teams or the highest standard of domestic teams in which teams have two innings each. Generally, matches are eleven players a side but there have been exceptions.

Nepal played their first First-class match against UAE at the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium in the 2004 ICC Intercontinental Cup.

Today all matches must be scheduled to have at least three days' duration; historically, matches were played to a finish with no pre-defined time span.

This list is not limited to those who have played first-class cricket for Nepal and may include Nepalese players who played their first-class cricket elsewhere. The players are listed alphabetically by their last name.
