Fast bowling (also called pace bowling) is one of the two main approaches to bowling in the sport of cricket (the other being spin bowling). The following are lists of the top ten current fast bowlers using different criteria. They have all played at least one international game in the past year in the form listed.

Fastest
These lists are based on the most recent international game played by each bowler, but in some circumstances the necessary data is unavailable. In these situations, the data used is from the most recent game where this data is available, and is listed in italics. The main source of information on bowling speeds is Hawkeye data as published on the ICC website. However this is not universally used and depends on which system the host broadcaster / board use for ball-tracking. Matches in Australia and New Zealand currently use the rival Virtual Eye system, and though some speed data is available it is not comprehensive.
