Summary

This is a list of foreign Premier League goalscorers. The Premier League, which began in its current guise in 1992, has been represented by 116 foreign FIFA affiliated nations in total.

The following players meet both of the following two criteria:

If a player has been capped at international level, the national team is used; if he has been capped by more than one country, the highest level (or the most recent) team is used. These include British players with dual citizenship.
If a player has not been capped at international level, his country of birth is used, except those who were born abroad from British parents or moved to the United Kingdom at a young age, and those who clearly indicated to have switched his nationality to another nation.

Clubs listed are those for which the player has scored at least one Premier League goal.
