The Premier League Golden Boot goes to the division's leading goalscorer at the end of each 38-game campaign. Since the competition's first season in 1992-93, the award has traced the careers of the game's most feared strikers — from Alan Shearer's mid-90s dominance to Thierry Henry's Arsenal peak, and on to the record-breaking hauls of Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland.

This table lists the top scorer for every completed Premier League season, along with the club they scored for and their final goal tally. Where the Boot was shared, all joint winners are listed together — the award has been split five times, most notably the three-way ties of 1997-98 and 1998-99, both settled on 18 goals.

A few numbers stand out. Haaland's 36 goals in 2022-23 is the highest total ever recorded by a Golden Boot winner across a 38-game season. Salah and Henry share the record for most wins with four apiece, while Shearer is the only player to claim the award in three consecutive seasons. Robin van Persie remains the only man to win back-to-back Boots with different clubs.
