Pakistan Super League is a professional Twenty20 cricket league, which is operated by the Pakistan Cricket Board. It is contested between six franchises comprising cricketers from Pakistan and around the world (excluding India). A player who leads the cricket team is known as its captain. Each team usually has one nominated captain, although if that player is not participating in a match another player will deputise for them. The captain of a cricket team typically shoulders more responsibility for results than team captains in other sports.^[1]

This is a list of the players who have acted as captain in at least one match of PSL. Five teams competed in both; first and second seasons of the league and with the addition of Multan Sultans in 2018 season currently six teams compete for the title. Shaheen Afridi, captain of the team Lahore Qalandars, is the most successful captain who has led his team twice to become the champions with 17 wins out of 27 played with a winning percentage of 70.^[2] His team have been the champions in 2022 and in 2023, becoming the first ever team in PSL history to successfully defend their PSL title.^[3]
