List of Portugal national football team hat-tricks
Since Portugal's first international association football match in 1921 against Spain, there have been 25 occasions when a Portuguese player has scored three or more goals (a hat-trick) in a game. The first hat-trick was scored by Valdemar Mota against Italy in 1928. The record for the most goals scored in an international by a Portuguese player is four, which has been achieved on five occasions: by Eusébio against North Korea at the 1966 World Cup, by Nuno Gomes against Andorra in 2002, by Pauleta against Kuwait in 2003, and the other two by Cristiano Ronaldo, the first against Andorra in 2016 and the second against Lithuania in 2019. In addition to Eusébio, the only other two Portuguese player to have scored a hat-trick at the World Cup finals was Pauleta in the 2002 World Cup against Poland and Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2018 World Cup against Spain. Sérgio Conceição is the only Portuguese player to have scored a hat-trick at the European Championship finals. He scored the only three goals of the match against Germany at Euro 2000.
Cristiano Ronaldo holds the record for the most hat-tricks scored by a Portuguese player, with ten between 2013 and 2021. André Silva was the youngest Portuguese player to score a hat-trick with 20 years, 11 months and 4 days and he achieved that against Faroe Islands.
