List of Olympique de Marseille players

This is a list of notable footballers who have played for Olympique de Marseille. Generally, this means players that have appeared in 100 or more first-class (league, French Cup, League Cup and European) matches for the club. However, some players who have played fewer matches are also included; players who fell short of the total of 100 appearances but made significant contributions to the history of the club[1] or are involved in 1990–91 European Cup, 1992–93 UEFA Champions League, 1998–99 UEFA Cup, 2003–04 UEFA Cup and 2017–18 UEFA Europa League campaigns. For a full list of all Marseille players with Wikipedia articles—major or otherwise—see Category:Olympique de Marseille players.

Players are listed according to the date of their first professional contract signed with the club. Appearances and goals are for competitive first-team matches only. Substitute appearances included.
