List of Brisbane Lions players

This is a list of every player to have at least played one senior VFL/AFL game for Brisbane Lions since its inception in 1997.

Players are listed in order of debut, and the start of their Brisbane Lions career is determined by their year of debut, and the end is determined by the year of their final game playing for the Brisbane Lions. This guideline results in the possibility that players may not have necessarily began or finished their career on the Brisbane Lions list within these periods listed.

Statistics include only Brisbane Lions careers, and are correct as of the start of the 2013 AFL season. Specifically, games played for either of the two clubs that merged in 1996 to form the Brisbane Lions, the Brisbane Bears and the Fitzroy Football Club are not included in this list.
