The following is a list of goalscorers in FIFA World Cup finals. Only goals scored during regulation or extra time are included. Any goals scored during the penalty shoot-out are excluded. As of the 2022 final, sixty-two individuals have scored the total of eighty goals in all of the finals history. Twelve players have scored multiple goals in the finals. Only five players in FIFA World Cup history have scored goals in two different World Cup final matches, Vavá (1958, 1962), Pelé (1958, 1970), Paul Breitner (1974, 1982), Zinedine Zidane (1998, 2006), and Kylian Mbappé (2018, 2022). Seven players have done so via a penalty kick. Mario Mandžukić was the first player to score an own goal in a final, as well as the first to follow it up with a goal at the opponent's net. He scored the opening and closing goal of the final in 2018. Geoff Hurst and Kylian Mbappé are the only men's players to score a hat trick in a final. Only two players have scored in two consecutive FIFA World Cup finals: Vavá and Mbappé. Only two scorers, Pelé and Mbappé, have scored in a World Cup final as teenagers. Mbappé is also the only player to score multiple goals in a losing final.
ESPN featured a documentary on the 34 finals goalscorers who were alive before the 2010 final.
