List of Watford F.C. players (1–49 appearances)

The club's history can be traced back to 1881; it took its current name in 1898, following the merger of West Hertfordshire and Watford St. Mary's.

Paul Atkinson, Mo Johnston and Neil Price all featured for Watford in the 1984 FA Cup Final.

Nick Wright scored the opening goal in Watford's 2–0 win over Bolton in the 1999 Football League First Division play-off final, a game that Israel international Alon Hazan also participated in.

Several players have gone on to become Premier League footballers following successful loan spells at Watford, including Chris Eagles and England international Adam Johnson; others such as Alexandre Bonnot and Steve Brooker played their only top division games in English football with Watford.

The table does not include appearances and goals from 1939–1940, when the season was abandoned after three matches due to the Second World War.
