# List of top international men'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.

## List of top scorers

    Players in bold are still active at international level.
    Players in italics also hold the record for most caps for their nation.
    Rank is a count of the 211 FIFA nations. 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.
