France's all-time leading goalscorers

Kylian Mbappe is France's all-time leading goalscorer following his brace against Senegal at the 2026 World Cup.

The France captain will be hoping to win the World Cup for the second time this summer following the success in Russia eight years ago.

Mbappe scored a hat-trick in the final four years ago but France suffered an agonising penalty shootout defeat to Argentina.

His second goal against Senegal was his 58th international goal in just his 99th appearance and there should be many more to come.

World Cup

Mbappe went past former leading goalscorer Olivier Giroud who scored 57 goals in 137 France appearances.

Thierry Henry is the only other player to score over 50 goals for France in the nation's history.

Fellow World Cup winner Antoine Griezmann and Michel Platini make up the rest of an impressive top five France goalscorers.

The likes of Zinedine Zidane, Just Fontaine and Karim Benzema also make it onto the list as part of the top ten.
