7 = Bettina Wiegmann (Germany) - 5 goals
Bettina Wiegmann will always hold a little piece of footballing history, having become the first ever women's goalscorer in Olympic football when she netted against Japan in 1995.
She wasn't bad at European Championships either, scoring five goals across five tournaments between 1991 and 2001 and scooping four winners' medals in the process.
7 = Lena Videkull (Sweden) - 5 goals
Lena Videkull enjoyed an illustrious career with the Swedish national team, netting 71 goals in 111 appearances for her country - five of which came at the European Championships.
Videkull featured at four tournaments between 1984 and 1995, scoring three goals to win the Golden Boot and help Sweden reach the 1995 final, where they lost to Germany. The forward did collect a winner's medal in 1984, remarkably making her senior international debut in the final against England.
7 = Jodie Taylor (England) - 5 goals
Jodie Taylor has only appeared at one European Championship tournament, but boasts a pretty impressive 100% Golden Boot collection rate. All five of the England striker's European Championship goals came at Euro 2017, as the England striker scooped the top scorer prize.
Taylor netted a hat-trick in England's opening game against Scotland, and was also on the scoresheet during the Lionesses' victories over Spain and France, before her side crashed out against hosts Netherlands in the semi finals.
7 = Pia Sundhage (Sweden) - 5 goals
Pia Sundhage is an icon of women's football. A double Olympic champion as a manager, she had a pretty esteemed playing career too.
The Swedish forward was the star of the show at Euro 1984, netting four goals in four games - including a brace in the semi finals - as Sweden were crowned champions at the inaugural tournament.
7 = Patrizia Panico (Italy) - 5 goals
When it comes to goalscorers, few have greater pedigree in Italian women's football than Patrizia Panico. The striker finished top scorer in Serie A on a record breaking 14 occasions, and scored 107 goals in 196 appearances for her country prior to her 2016 retirement.
Panico appeared at five separate European Championships between 1997 and 2013 and found the net five times, collecting a runner's up medal in 1997.
7 = Maren Meinert (Germany) - 5 goals
Maren Meinert appeared at four European Championships with Germany between 1993 and 2001, scoring in every single one.
The playmaker was on the scoresheet in the final of Euro1995, scored Germany's first goal of the tournament in 1997 and won three Euros titles.
7 = Solveig Gulbrandsen (Norway) - 5 goals
Solveig Gulbrandsen is Norway's all-time top goalscorer at European Championships with five goals across four tournaments between 2001 and 2013.
She scored three times en route to the final in 2005 - including a famous brace against Sweden in the semi finals - and collected a second runners' up medal in 2013.
7 = Melania Gabbiadini (Italy) - 5 goals
Melania Gabbiadini netted five goals across four tournaments between 2005 and 2017 - despite Italy never making it past the quarter final stage.
The striker scored twice at the 2013 competition to earn her a place in the squad of the tournament, and finished her international career with 45 goals in 114 appearances.
6 - Hanna Ljungberg (Sweden) - 6 goals
Hanna Ljungberg is one of the greatest players in Swedish football history, scoring 72 goals in 130 appearances for her country.
Six of these goals came across three European Championships. The forward netted a brace in the semi finals of Euro 2005 against Norway - including an 89th minute winner to take the game to extra time - but her side ultimately crashed out.
3 = Lotta Schelin (Sweden) - 8 goals
Sweden footballing icon Latta Shelin is her country's all-time top goalscorer, with 88 goals in 185 appearances.
The forward enjoyed a stunning Euro 2013 on home soil, scoring six goals in five matches to scoop the Golden Boot - including a brace in the quarter finals. However, her side suffered a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Germany in the semi finals, with Schelin having a goal dubiously ruled out for a foul.
3 = Heidi Mohr (Germany) - 8 goals
Heidi Mohr netted eight times across four European Championships for Germany between 1989 and 1995, and is one of European football's all-time greats.
The striker finished her career with 83 goals in just 104 appearances for the national team and was the star of the show at Euro 91. Mohr won the Golden Boot with four goals in two games - including a double in the final - as she collected her first of three Euros winners' medals.
3 = Carolina Morace (Italy) - 8 goals
Carolina Morace has had quite the career, to put it mildly. In addition to starring at six European Championships for Italy, winning 150 caps and scoring 115 goals for her country, and becoming the first woman to manage a professional men's team when she took the reins of Viterbese in 1999, she's also a qualified lawyer.
The striker shared the Golden Boot at her final Euros appearance in 1997, netting four goals as Italy reached the final for the just the second - and currently last - time in their history.
1 = Birgit Prinz (Germany) - 10 goals
Footballing icon Birgit Prinz is the joint top scorer in Women's Euros history, scoring 10 goals across five tournaments between 1995 and 2009. Germany won every single one.
The striker ended her international career with a staggering 128 goals in 214 appearances - a German record on both counts - and was on the scoresheet in four of the five Euros finals that she played in: 1995, 1997, 2005 and 2009.
1 = Inka Grings (Germany) - 10 goals
Two legends of the game share top spot - fittingly, given what a formidable strike partnership they enjoyed over the years.
Injuries limited Inka Grings to just two European Championships - 2005 and 2009 - making her 10 goal haul all the more impressive. The forward was top scorer at both tournaments and scored three goals in her two final appearances as she took home two winners' medals. A pretty flawless Euros record.
