This is the complete list of all players that have captained the Melbourne Storm Rugby League club in an NRL game since 1998. Order is dictated by the year and round in which each player first captained the team. Between 2006 and 2007 the club had a rotating captains policy, so there were a large number of players listed as captain during this time. Cameron Smith, the club's longest serving captain, captained his first game during this period (round 3 2006) even though he did not become the permanent captain until round 18 in 2007, this makes him the club's 11th captain. Following the retirement of Smith, the club used co-captains during the 2021 and 2022 seasons before reverting to a single captain for 2023. The incumbent captain is Harry Grant.

NOTE: From 2016âÂÂ2018 Melbourne Storm played one "home" fixture per year at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane as part of a double header. These statistics have not been included on this table below as the Suncorp Stadium capacity is significantly higher than home venues in Melbourne and crowd numbers are distorted due to the games being double headers because it is not known how much of the crowd is there for the Storm games and how many are there for the other featured game.
