List of NBA annual 3-point field goal percentage leaders

none

none

In basketball, a three-point field goal (also known as a "three-pointer" or "3-pointer") is a field goal made from beyond the three-point line, a designated arc radiating from the basket. A successful attempt is worth three points, in contrast to the two points awarded for shots made inside the three-point line. The National Basketball Association's (NBA) three-point shooting percentage leader is the player with the highest three-point field goal percentage in a given season. The statistic was first recognized in the 1979–80 season when the three-point line was first implemented that season. To qualify as a three-point shooting leader, the player must have at least 82 three-point field goals made. This has been the entry criterion since the 2013–14 season.

Kyle Korver has led the league in three-point shooting percentage a record four times, while Craig Hodges, Steve Kerr, and Jason Kapono have each done it twice. Kapono and Korver are the only players to do so in consecutive seasons. Korver, who shot 53.64% from beyond the arc in the 2009–10 season, holds the all-time record for three-point field goal percentage in a season (min. 110 attempts). Tony Snell, who is not included on the list, shot an all-time high 56.9% from beyond the arc (min. 50 attempts) in the 2020–21 season on 62 makes and 109 attempts.

None of the leaders in this statistic have been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
