This is a list of cricketers who have played first-class cricket for Cambridge University Centre of Cricketing Excellence (UCCE) and/or Cambridge MCC Universities (MCCU). Players who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University can be found at List of Cambridge University Cricket Club players.

Cambridge UCCE was formed in 2001 by Cambridge University Cricket Club and Anglia Polytechnic University, now Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), with funding and support from Cambridge University and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). It continued until the 2009 season, when the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) took over funding from the ECB, at which point it was renamed Cambridge MCC University.[1]

The side played first-class matches until the end of the 2019 season, at which point matches involving university sides were deemed to be no longer first-class.[a]

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he played for the side in first-class matches.
