List of women's footballers with 300 or more goals

For men's footballers, see List of footballers with 500 or more goals.

In women's association football competitions, 73 players have scored 300 or more goals over the course of their career in both club and international football, according to research by Independent Football Data (IFD), an organisation ran independently by an English man.[citation needed] FIFA, the international governing body of football, has never released a list detailing the highest women's goalscorers and does not keep official records.[citation needed]
