This is a list of South African Test cricketers. A Test match is an international cricket match between two of the leading cricketing nations. The list is arranged in the order in which each player won his Test cap. Where more than one player won his first Test cap in the same Test match, those players are listed alphabetically by surname.
International Test teams wear their cap number on their uniform. For South African players, cap numbers start from their readmission to Test cricket in 1991 following their cricket ban during the apartheid era.
Statistics are correct as of 14 January 2017.
