The following is a partial list of goalscorers in All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship finals. See List of FIFA World Cup final goalscorers a similar list but in soccer not hurling.

Scoring in Gaelic games: Most scores are points but there are goals too.

For a team to score more than three goals in a final is a rarity, occurring in 2000 and 2010. When Lar Corbett (for Tipp, 2010) scored a hat-trick, only Eddie O'Brien (for Cork, 1970) had done it in a final. But the 2013 replay had Clare scoring five goals, including a Shane O'Donnell hat-trick.

The last final to finish goalless was in 2020.
