This is a list of Twenty20 International cricket records, that is record team and individual performances in Twenty20 International cricket.

The highest innings total is currently held by Sri Lanka which made 260-6 off 20 overs against Kenya in Johannesburg on September 14, 2007.

The first hat trick was taken by Australian Brett Lee vs Bangladesh in the 17th over on September 16, 2007. Richard Levi of South Africa scored a Twenty20 century in just 45 balls, with only Suresh Raina of India, Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene and Tillakaratne Dilshan, Chris Gayle of the West Indies and New Zealand's Brendon McCullum also to reach 3 figures in international Twenty20 Cricket. India's Yuvraj Singh matched the feats of Garfield Sobers, Ravi Shastri and Herschelle Gibbs by hitting 6 sixes in an over on September 19, 2007 - England's Stuart Broad was the bowler.
