NCAA Division I men's lacrosse records

NCAA Division I men's lacrosse records are officially compiled by the NCAA's Director of Statistics office. Included in this consolidation of the official records are the NCAA men's Division I individual single-season and career leaders. Official NCAA men's lacrosse records began with the 1971 season and are based on information submitted to the NCAA statistics service by institutions participating in the weekly statistics rankings, which started in 1996. Official career records include players who played at least three seasons (in a four-season career) or two (in a three-season career) in Division I during the era of official NCAA statistics. In statistical rankings, the rounding of percentages and/or averages may indicate ties where none exist. In these cases, the numerical order of the rankings is accurate.

Compiling and validating lacrosse records prior to the "NCAA-era" is hit-or-miss. In many cases, USILA records can be gathered from a university's own record book. But to date, the NCAA does not officially recognize USILA lacrosse records. Several USILA era lacrosse records, nonetheless, have been included below.

In other cases, career or single-season records are indicated below, where the NCAA has not validated or officially recognized that record, for players during the "NCAA-era", post-1971.
