The IFFHS World's Best Top Goal Scorer is a football award given annually since 2021, and retroactively for the years 2011 to 2020, to the world's top goalscorer in the calendar year. The award is given by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS).

All international goals and all competitive goals for clubs playing in their top division scored from 1 January to 31 December are taken into consideration.

Cristiano Ronaldo holds the record for most wins (4) while Lionel Messi hold the record for most goals in a calendar year (91 in 2012). Robert Lewandowski won the award with the fewest goals (47 in 2020). Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the only players to have won the award more than once, with the former being the only player to win the award in successive seasons.

Plus, the IFFHS has awarded the World's Best Goal Scorer of the Decade in 2021, considering the years 2011–2020.
