The following is a list of players who have kicked the most goals for the West Coast Eagles in each season of the Australian Football League (AFL), formerly known as the Victorian Football League (VFL), for both the men's team and the women's team.

Peter Sumich holds the record for the most goals kicked in a season by an Eagles player, having kicked 111 goals in 1991. Sumich also holds the club record for most consecutive times as leading goalkicker (six, between 1989 and 1994). Josh Kennedy holds the record for the most times as leading goalkicker (eight). In 1999, Scott Cummings became the first Eagles player to win the Coleman Medal for the most goals kicked in the AFL in one season. Kennedy joined Cummings in 2015, winning West Coast's second-ever Coleman medal, kicking 75 goals in the 2015 home-and-away season and adding an extra five in the finals series.[1] Kennedy also holds the individual career goal scoring record for West Coast (712).
