The FIFA World Cup Golden Boot is the award given to the top goal scorer of the World Cup tournament. Here is the list of the top goal scorers for the 1938 World Cup held in France.

Notes:
- In 2006 FIFA adjusted the goal count for Leônidas from 8 to 7 based on analysis of the quarter-final tie against Czechoslovakia. He had scored only once, not twice as FIFA had originally recorded.
- An award for the top goal scorer at the FIFA World Cup was not officially awarded until 1982 (and from 1982 until 2006 it was called the golden shoe).
