Since the Brazil national team's first international association football match in 1914, Brazilian players have scored three or more goals (a hat-trick) on 52 occasions. The first hat-trick was scored by Arthur Friedenreich against Chile in 1919. The record for the most goals scored in a single international match by a Brazilian player is five, achieved only by Evaristo de Macedo against Colombia in 1957.

Pelé holds the record for the most hat-tricks by a Brazilian player, scoring seven between 1958 and 1964, one of which occurred in the World Cup finals. Besides Pelé, the only Brazilian players to have scored a hat-trick in a World Cup final tournament are Leônidas da Silva against Poland in 1938 and Ademir de Menezes against Sweden in 1950. The most recent Brazilian player to score a hat-trick was Neymar, who netted three times against Peru in a World Cup qualifier on 13 October 2020.

Brazil has conceded at least 11 hat-tricks in its history, five of which came in matches against Argentina. One of the most notable hat-tricks was scored by Paolo Rossi during the 1982 World Cup, eliminating Brazil from the tournament.
