The club has played in the Brasileirão, the top tier of the Brazilian football league system, throughout all of its history with the exception of one season, as well as in all editions of the Campeonato Mineiro, the premier state league of Minas Gerais, while also taking part in numerous CONMEBOL-organised international competitions. This is a list of notable footballers who have played for Atlético Mineiro since its foundation as Athletico Mineiro Football Club in 1908.
