This is a list of all hat-tricks scored during FIFA Confederations Cups; that is, the occasions when a footballer scored three or more goals in a single football FIFA Confederations Cup finals match. Scoring a hat-trick in a FIFA Confederations Cup was a relatively rare event: only 9 hat-tricks were scored in 108 matches in the 8 editions of the FIFA Confederations Cup tournament. As FIFA is the governing body of football, official hat-tricks are only noted when FIFA recognises that at least three goals were scored by one player in one match.
