The '''Art Ross Trophy''' is given to the top scoring player each year in the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL). The player with the most points ([[wikt:goal|goals]] plus [[assist]]s) is given the trophy. If two players have the same number of points, the award goes to the player with the most goals. If they are tied in goals, it goes to the player who has played fewer games. If they are tied in games, it goes to the player who scored his first goal of the year the soonest.

[[Wayne Gretzky]] has won this trophy ten times, the most of any player. [[Gordie Howe]] and [[Mario Lemieux]] each won six trophies; [[Phil Esposito]] and [[Jaromir Jagr]] won five; [[Stan Mikita]] won four; and [[Bobby Hull]] and [[Guy Lafleur]] each won it three times.

The Art Ross Memorial Trophy was first awarded in 1948. This list includes all NHL scoring champions:
