This is a list of Croatia national football team players. Most of the appearances were made since the country became independent from Yugoslavia in 1990, but international games were also played in the early 1940s and a one-off match was played in 1956. Luka Modrić made the most appearances for the national team with 174, making him one of the ten Croatian players with 100 or more caps. Davor Šuker, who was the top goalscorer at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, is by far the top goalscorer in the history of the Croatian team, with 45 goals.

This list is about Croatia national football team players with at least 20 appearances. For a list of all national team players with a Wikipedia article, see the Croatia international footballers category. For the current national team squad, see Croatia national football team#Current squad.

Appearances and goals are composed of FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship and each competition's required qualification matches, as well as the UEFA Nations League and international friendlies. Players are listed by number of caps, then by goals scored. If they are still tied the players are listed alphabetically. Statistics correct as of 26 March 2024 and the 2024 ACUD Cup match against Egypt.
