List of Melbourne Rebels players

This article contains a list of rugby union players who have represented the Melbourne Rebels in a Super Rugby competition match since they joined the competition in 2011. Players are ordered in order of first appearance. Players who played in the Rebels inaugural game are ordered in alphabetical order, but whereafter are ordered in position from No. 1 to No. 15 if more than one player debut in the same match at the same point of debut. Players are given an official 'Rebel number' on their first Super Rugby appearance, or appearance in an regionalised competition such as Super Rugby AU or Super Rugby Trans-Tasman.^[1]

A player's nationality shown is taken from the nationality at the highest honour for the national side obtained; or if never capped internationally their place of birth. Senior caps take precedence over junior caps or place of birth; junior caps take precedence over place of birth. A player's nationality at debut may be different from the nationality shown. Combination sides like the British and Irish Lions or Pacific Islanders are not national sides, or nationalities.

Players listed in Bold denote a player who is internationally capped. Players may have played in another position than listed, but only main positions are listed. Players may have been contracted for others seasons, but only seasons in which they played an official Super Rugby match are included.
