This is a list of Surrey first-class cricket records; that is, record team and individual performances in first-class cricket for Surrey. Surrey have played over 3,500 first-class matches since first doing so in the mid-1800s. This dwarfs the number of List A and Twenty20 matches played. Records for those shorter forms of the game are found at List of Surrey List A cricket records and List of Surrey Twenty20 cricket records. Generally, the top five in each category are listed here.
All statistics are up-to-date as of 6 August 2011.
