Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1905 was the cricket season when the English club Derbyshire had been playing for thirty-four years. It was their eleventh season in the County Championship and they won three matches to finish fourteenth in the Championship table.
Derbyshire played twenty games in the County Championship, one match against MCC and one against the touring Australians. The captain for the year was Albert Lawton. Levi Wright was top scorer with over 1700 runs and four centuries and Billy Bestwick took most wickets with over 100. However lacking greater depth, Derbyshire won just three matches in the County Championship and lost 16 which put them at fourteenth in the table.
The most significant addition to the Derbyshire squad in the season was George Buckston who though playing only one match in the 1905 season went on to become captain. Also making their debuts were Frederic Hunter who played regularly for three years and Herbert Cooper William Taylor and Robert Carlin who played intermittently over five years. Arthur Hogg, John McDonald and George Walkden played in 1905 and also in 1906. Other players who made their debut but played only in 1905 were George Maltby three matches, Joseph Cupitt George Marples and Guy Sparrow two matches and William Peach and William Bagguley one match each.
James Wright who had played in 1898 played his last single match in the season.
