# List of top international women's football goalscorers by country

This page lists the top all-time goalscorer for each women'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.
Since January 2020, Canadian forward Christine Sinclair is the leading all-time international goalscorer. She overtook Abby Wambach of the United States, who had held the top position for over six years. Wambach's former teammate Mia Hamm topped the list between 1999 and 2013, who was preceded by Italian player Elisabetta Vignotto.
