List of Ligue 1's top scorers

This list names the top scorer in professional French Ligue 1 ( called Division 1 until 2002 ) in football since 1932/33, both the most successful goal scorers of each season and the most successful goal scorers overall. The missing seasons from 1939/40 to 1944/45 (" war championships ") are not considered official championships; their best goalgetter cannot yet be fully determined.
