List of most-liked YouTube videos

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

This list of most-liked YouTube videos contains the top 30 videos with the most likes of all time, taken directly from the video page. The American video platform YouTube implemented a like and dislike button on these pages in March 2010, part of a major redesign of the site. This served as a replacement for their five-star rating system;^[1] YouTube's designers found the previous system ineffective because the options to rate a video between two and four stars were rarely selected.^[2]

The "Would You Fly to Paris for a Baguette?" short by MrBeast has been the most-liked video on YouTube since April 2025, with over 55 million likes as of April 2025^[update].

Less than a year later, on July 25, 2017, Luis Fonsi's "Despacito" music video featuring Daddy Yankee claimed the top spot with 16.01 million likes. Despacito became the first YouTube video to reach 50 million likes on October 23, 2022.
