This is a complete alphabetic list of all players who won the Stanley Cup with years and total wins. The Stanley Cup was first awarded in 1893, and since 1926 it has been the championship trophy of the National Hockey League (NHL). The list includes all known players from each winning team from 1893 to 1923. Since 1924, all players whose names were actually engraved on the Stanley Cup are listed. The list also includes any player who qualified but whose name was not engraved on the Stanley Cup, and any player who did not qualify but who dressed in the playoffs.

The rules for determining whether a player qualified to be listed as a Stanley Cup winner have changed over time:

• 1893 to 1926 – played one game for the winning team during the regular season or the Stanley Cup playoffs, or included on the team picture.
• 1926 to 1970 – played half of the regular season games (and was not traded to another team), or played one playoff game. Some players who qualified were left off the Stanley Cup, while other players who did not officially qualify were still included.
• 1971 to 1976 – played in the playoffs (a player who played at least half of the regular season games and was left off the cup is included on this list).
• Since 1976 – appeared in at least one game in the Stanley Cup Finals, or half of the regular season games, and was still with the winning team after the NHL trade deadline. Between 1978 and 1993, eleven players who did not qualify still ended up having their name engraved on the Stanley Cup.

Starting in 1994, teams have been permitted to petition the NHL Commissioner, to be considered on a case-by-case basis, to engrave a player's name on the cup if the player was unavailable to play due to "extenuating circumstances".^[1] Usually, players who spend the whole season with the winning team, but do not officially qualify, are included, especially if they missed many games injured. The league does not evaluate all players on the roster, only the ones requested by the winning team. NHL has rejected some requests for names to be added.

Since 1998, there has been a limit of 52 names per champion, counting both players and non-playing personnel. No players who qualify may be left off to include another non-playing member. The following list includes notes explaining each of the following situations:

• Any player who qualified, but whose name was left off the Stanley Cup, is included with information on how they qualified.
• Any player who did not officially qualify, but whose name was included on the Cup, is included with information about why their name was included.
• Any non-player who played in at least one game for the winning team that season is included with their position.
• Any player who dressed in the playoffs, or missed many games injured, but was left off the Stanley Cup, because they did not qualify is included.
