Since the independence of Croatia in 1990, nine Croatian footballers have scored three or more goals (a hat-trick) in a game. Davor Šuker was the first player in history to achieve this feat, scoring three times in a 7–1 victory over Estonia in 1995. He is also the one of two players alongside Mario Mandžukić who scored a hat-trick more than once, grabbing his second hat-trick in Croatia's 7–0 win against Australia. Mladen Petrić has scored the greatest number of goals in one game, netting four times against Andorra.
The most recent hat-trick was scored by Mario Mandžukić in Croatia's 6–0 victory over Kosovo in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. Croatia have conceded four hat-tricks since 1941, the most recent being scored by Theo Walcott in a 4–1 defeat by England in the qualifications for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
