List of Copa América hat-tricks
This is a list of all hat-tricks scored in the Copa América; that is, the occasions where an individual footballer scored three or more goals in a single Copa América match. This is a relatively rare event: only 69 hat-tricks have been scored across the 48 editions of the Copa América tournament to date. As CONMEBOL is the governing body of football in South America, official hat-tricks are only noted when CONMEBOL recognizes that at least three goals were scored by one player in one match. The first hat-trick was scored by Arthur Friedenreich of Brazil, playing against Chile in the 1919 South American Championship; the most recent was by Eduardo Vargas of Chile, playing against Mexico in the 2016 Copa América Centenario. The only editions not to have at least one hat-trick scored were 1916, 1917, 1920, 1921, 1922, 1937, 1956, 1979, 1983, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2019, 2021 and 2024. The record number of hat-tricks in a single Copa América tournament is five, which occurred in each of the 1926, 1942, 1945 and 1957 tournaments.
