Smith_(Cambridge_University_cricketer_(1831))
This is a list of cricketers who played first-class cricket in England in matches between the 1826 and 1840 seasons. The sport of cricket had acquired most of its modern features by this time and the period saw the establishment of roundarm bowling as an accepted practise.
County cricket clubs began to become more formally established during this period and Sussex County Cricket Club, the oldest professional sporting organisation in the world, was formerly established in 1839. This would soon be followed by formal organisations in other counties, although the County Championship was not formally established until 1890.
The players included are those known to have played in matches which were given retrospective first-class status between 1826 and 1840 inclusive.[upper-alpha 1]

- Details of players are not always complete for this period. In some cases cricket historians have made assumptions regarding the identity of players where just a surname was recorded on original scorecards.[1] Although scorecard information is more complete from this period, bowling analyses are rarely provided in the detail which modern scorecards would do so.
- Where no specific reference is provided references can be found in the player's article. Further information can be found in Scores and Biographies, Volume 1 and/or Volume 2.
- The use of John as Henson's forename is in some doubt.[114]
- Noakes' forename is a matter of considerable doubt with no initials being provided by either Haygarth or the 1907 History of Kent County Cricket.[176]
- There is some doubt about Roper's identity.[212]
- There are several instances of a Truman playing for Nottingham and other clubs in the Nottingham area between 1810 and 1840, but in only one case is a forename given.[251]
