List of Argentina national football team hat-tricks

This page is a list of the hat-tricks scored for the Argentina national football team. Since Argentina's first international association football match in 1902, there have been 70 hat-tricks recorded. The first hat-trick was scored by Carlos Guidi against Uruguay in 1913. The most goals scored by a single player in a match is five, a record achieved by three different players: Juan Marvezzi against Ecuador in 1941; José Manuel Moreno against Ecuador in 1942; and Lionel Messi against Estonia in 2022.

Lionel Messi holds the record for most hat-tricks scored by an Argentinian player with eleven, with the first coming against Switzerland in 2012. Four Argentinians have scored hat-tricks at the FIFA World Cup: Guillermo Stábile at the 1930 edition against Mexico; Gabriel Batistuta at both the 1994 and 1998 editions against Greece and Jamaica; Gonzalo Higuaín at the 2010 edition against South Korea; and Lionel Messi at the 2026 edition against Algeria.

Argentina have conceded five hat-tricks in total, two coming against Brazil. The most notable hat-trick scored against Argentina was scored by Kylian Mbappé in the 2022 World Cup final; a tournament which Argentina ultimately went on to win on penalties.
