This is a list of coaches and captains of the Fitzroy Football Club, along with best and fairest award winners and leading goalkickers, for every year of the club's participation in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), Victorian/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL) and the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA).

From 1987 to 1996, Fitzroy's best and fairest award was known as the Mitchell Medal, named after Percy Mitchell, a long-serving club administrator and life member.
