List of top international men's football goalscorers by country

This page lists the top all-time male goal scorer for each national football team where the top scorer has a minimum 19 goals in official international matches for his country.

This list is not an all-time top international goal scorers list, as some country's second top scorer could have scored more than another country's top scorer. It only lists the top scorer for each country. Note also that the all-time top women's scorer, Mia Hamm, retired from the USA women's team in 2004 with 158 goals.
