List of NCAA Division I men's basketball season 3-point field goal leaders

A three-point field goal (also known as a "three-pointer" or "3-pointer") is a field goal in a basketball game, 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 Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) keeps records of the Division I 3-point field goal makes per game (3PG) average annual leaders. The statistic was first recognized in the 1986–87 season when 3-point field goals were officially instituted by the NCAA. From the 1986–87 season through the 2007–08 season, the three-point perimeter was marked at for both men's and women's college basketball.{{Cite web | last = Katz | first = Andy | authorlink = Andy Katz | title = Committee extends men's 3-point line to 20-9| publisher = ESPN | date = May 3, 2007 | url = https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=2859065 | access-date = May 28, 2010}} On May 3, 2007, the NCAA men's basketball rules committee passed a measure to extend the distance of the men's three-point line back to , while the women's line would remain the same. until being moved to the FIBA distance in 2021–22.

Darrin Fitzgerald of Butler owns the all-time NCAA single-season record of 3-pointers made per game (5.64) which he accomplished in 1986–87. Some players—such as prolific scorers Darrell Floyd, Pete Maravich and Austin Carr—who competed prior to the 1986–87 season may have scored more baskets from what would have been 3-point territory if the rule had been in place during their college careers. The player with the highest 3PG average over the span of his entire career (with a minimum of 200 made threes) is Mississippi Valley State's Timothy Pollard, who made 4.57 per game over four years.
