List of Heart of Midlothian F.C. players

Below is a list of notable footballers who have played for Heart of Midlothian ("Hearts"). It generally includes only players who made more than 100 league appearances for Hearts, played in international matches while with the club, or set a club record. Some players who made a significant contribution in under 100 appearances are also included, for instance those who were a key part of the club's early history (e.g. Tom Purdie or Nick Ross). In some cases appearance records are incomplete, or the player's career may have predated the founding of the Scottish football league system in 1890–91.
