List of top international men's football goalscorers by country

For women's footballers, see List of top international women's football goalscorers by country.

This article lists the top all-time goalscorer for each men's national football team. This list is not an all-time top international goalscorers list, as several countries have two or more players with more goals than another country's top scorer. It simply lists only the top scorer for each country.

Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal is the all-time leading goalscorer for men's national teams.

List of top scorers

Players in bold are still active at international level.

Fourteen nations (Azerbaijan, Bermuda, Brunei, Bulgaria, Denmark, Dominican Republic, East Timor, Faroe Islands, Puerto Rico, Romania, Scotland, South Sudan, United States and U.S. Virgin Islands) have a pair of players tied for national leader. Anguilla, Eritrea and Nepal have three players tied as their leading scorer.

List of top scorers from defunct nations

These are the top scorers for defunct nations that do not have a FIFA recognised successor team.

Players in italics also hold the record for most caps for their nation.

Rank	Player	Country	Goals	Caps	Goals per match	First cap	Last cap	Ref.
1	Joachim Streich	East Germany	55	102	0.54	8 December 1969	20 October 1984	[239]

Notes

1. Daei was originally credited with scoring 109 goals, however FIFA no longer recognises Iran's match against Ecuador in 2000 as Ecuador fielded their Olympic team, rather than their full 'A' international side.
2. Abdullah retired internationally in 2007, but played a testimonial against Egypt in 2018.
3. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the team's records were inherited by Russia.
4. The exact number of caps, goals and first/last appearance have yet to be verified for this player.
5. Wells also appeared in 1 match in the 2007 Island Games against sides that were not FIFA members - nor were they associate members of one of FIFA's affiliated confederations - therefore the match is not counted here.
6. Weah retired internationally in 2002, but played a testimonial against Nigeria in 2018.
7. Gunemba scored one goal against Vanuatu B, however that was not against a full international 'A' side and therefore is not included on this list.
8. Ramoon also scored at least 1 goal for the Cayman Islands prior to their acceptance as full CONCACAF members in 1990.
9. Walker also scored at least 5 goals for Gibraltar prior to their acceptance as full UEFA members in 2013.
