The A-League Men Goal of the Season is an annual soccer award for the player deemed to have scored the best goal in the preceding A-League Men season.

The award was first given following the 2006–07 season and has been awarded under the Dolan Warren Awards since. The first recipient of the award was Newcastle Jets' Nick Carle for his goal at home against Adelaide United. The last recipient of the award was Melbourne Victory's Bruno Fornaroli for his goal away at Central Coast Mariners.
