List of FC Porto players

Futebol Clube do Porto is a Portuguese sports club based in Porto that is best known for its professional football team playing in the country's top-tier division, the Primeira Liga. Porto played their first match a few days after the club's foundation in 1893,[1] but only began playing competitively in 1911, when they took part and won the first José Monteiro da Costa Cup.[2] Since then, the team has entered and often achieved success in several domestic and international football competitions. This list includes all the players that have made at least 100 competitive appearances for the first team, either as a member of the starting eleven or as a substitute.

This article is about footballers with 100 or more appearances for FC Porto's first team. For a list of all FC Porto players with a Wikipedia article, see Category:FC Porto players. For current first-team players, see FC Porto § Current squad.

Vítor Baía has the second-most all-time appearances for Porto (566).

João Pinto, former right-back and captain, holds Porto's record for most appearances, having played 587 matches during an uninterrupted senior career of 16 years at the club. He is one of only two players with over 500 first-team appearances; the other is former goalkeeper and also captain Vítor Baía, who appeared in 566 matches in 17 seasons. Four other players have made at least 400 appearances; among them is Aloísio, a former Brazilian centre-back who holds the team record for most appearances by a foreign player. Fernando Gomes is Porto's top goalscorer, with 347 goals in 455 appearances. The only other club player with more than 300 goals is Pinga, who scored 314 times in 15 consecutive seasons.

As of 1 February 2021, six players currently active in the first team have made at least 100 appearances: Pepe (defender, Portugal), Iván Marcano (defender, Spain), Sérgio Oliveira (midfielder, Portugal), Otávio (midfielder, Brazil), Jesús Corona (winger, Mexico) and Moussa Marega (forward, Mali).
