Progression of the Netherlands association football goalscoring record

This is a progressive list of association footballers who have held or co-held the record for international goals for the Netherlands national football team.

Criteria

For the early decades, records of players appearances and goals were often considered unreliable. RSSSF and IFFHS have spent much effort trying to produce definitive lists of full international matches, and corresponding data on players' international caps and goals. Using this data, the following records can be retrospectively produced. Note that, at the time, these records may not have been recognised.
