This is a list of Inter players who have been inducted into the club's Hall of Fame.

History and regulations

Inter's Hall of Fame was launched in 2018 as a yearly competition as part of the initiatives for the club's 110th anniversary. ^{[1] [2]} To be eligible, players must have made at least 60 competitive appearances for Inter, have won at least one trophy with Inter, and have been retired for at least three years. ^[1]

During the initial two editions in 2018 and 2019, fans used electronic voting to select four shortlisted players, one for each position (goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, and forward). Subsequently, winners in each category (a goalkeeper, a defender, a midfielder, and a forward) were determined from three candidates per position through voting from: ^[1]

• national and international media;
• players from all of the Inter teams, from the Pulcini to the First Team.
• Inter employees and collaborators;
• existing Hall of Famers once they've been elected.

Starting from the 2020 edition, the shortlist has been eliminated, and the four winners are now directly chosen through voting by fans, players from all of Inter's teams, club employees, individuals previously inducted into the Hall of Fame, and representatives from major national and international newspapers. ^{[3] [4]}

Also since the 2020 edition, branded as Timeless Edition to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the treble, ^{[3] [5] [6]} former Inter players from the 2009–10 season have become eligible – irrespective of whether they have been retired for at least three years. ^{[3] [4]}
