The Gibraltar national cricket team is the team that represents the British overseas territory of Gibraltar in international cricket. They have been an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1969.

Gibraltar played in the ICC Trophy (now replaced by the ICC World Cup Qualifier) from 1982 to 2001, with little success. The team has played in the top-flight of the European Cricket Championship on four occasions, and placed sixth (out of eight teams) at the inaugural tournament held in Denmark in 1996. After the creation of the World Cricket League, Gibraltar was placed in the 2009 Division Seven. It was subsequently relegated to 2010 Division Eight, where another low finish saw the team again relegated, to regional qualifying tournaments.

With approximately 30,000 residents, Gibraltar has the smallest population of any ICC associate member. Three affiliate members, all dependencies of ICC full members, have a smaller population – in order from largest to smallest, the Cook Islands, Saint Helenian, and Falkland Islands national teams. Three others, the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, and Montserrat, are members of the West Indies Cricket Board, a full member.
