Aleksandar Đurić (Singapore) leads the ranking of best Asian goal-scorers in XXI century in the national leagues after the end of 2023.
He has scored 304 goals in the current century (which are supplemented by 31 scored in XX).
8 players in total have reached the 200-goal mark. 
5 other players are below 200 goals in XXI but reached this amount adding their goals from XX century (having still scored a significant majority of their goals in XXI; so they can be conditionally categorized as the “goal-scorers of XXI century”). They are also listed in the table but not classified.
