The capocannoniere award ({{IPA|it|ˌkapokannoˈnjɛːre|lang}}; {{literally|head gunner}}), known as Paolo Rossi Award[https://www.assocalciatori.it/news/nasce-il-premio-paolo-rossi THE PAOLO ROSSI AWARD IS BORN (in Italian)]. AIC since 2021, is awarded by the Italian Footballers' Association (AIC) to the highest goalscorer of each season in Italy's Serie A from the 2010–11 season, when it was called the AIC Award to the Top Scorer (Italian: Premio AIC al Capocannoniere in Italian). The award is currently held by Lautaro Martínez, who scored 24 goals for Internazionale in the 2023–24 season.

The highest number of goals scored to win the Capocannoniere is 36, by Gino Rossetti for Torino in 1928–29, Gonzalo Higuaín for Napoli in 2015–16 and Ciro Immobile for Lazio in 2019–20. Ferenc Hirzer, Julio Libonatti and Gunnar Nordahl are in joint fourth place for this record; they each scored 35 goals for Juventus, Torino and Milan respectively.

Gunnar Nordahl of Milan has won the title of capocannoniere five times: 1949–50, 1950–51, 1952–53, 1953–54 and 1954–55, more than any other player in the history of Italian championship.{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/fifa-tournaments/players-coaches/people=174807/profile.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925203543/http://www.fifa.com/fifa-tournaments/players-coaches/people=174807/profile.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=25 September 2015 |title=Serial-scoring Swede who inflamed Milan |publisher=FIFA |access-date=4 September 2013}}
