The '''Indian Super League Golden Boot''' is an annual association football award presented to the leading goal scorer in the [[Indian Super League]], India's premier division.

The award in 2014 was sponsored by [[Maruti Suzuki]]. The award was known as Alto K10 Indian Super League Golden Boot.<ref name=top>{{cite news |title=HEROISL: EX-LEICESTER STRIKER HUME NAMED PLAYER OF THE ISL, ELANO LANDS GOLDEN BOOT |url=http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/heroisl-ex-leicester-striker-hume-named-player-isl-elano-lands-golden-boot-4054435#.VJap7sAA |date=December 2014 |access-date=21 December 2014 |publisher=Goal.com }}</ref>

The Indian Super League was founded in 2014. Earlier the tournament only had 8 teams. From the 4th edition of the indian super league, the tournament had 10 teams.

The first Indian Super League golden boot was won by [[Brazil]]ian [[Elano|Elano Blumer]] of [[Chennaiyin FC]] in 2014 edition of the Super League he finished as the top scorer with 8 goals in 11 appearances.<ref>{{cite news |title=Elano wins Golden Boot for ISL exploits with Chennaiyin |url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/7083/isl/2014/12/20/7246022/elano-wins-golden-boot-for-isl-exploits-with-chennaiyin |date=December 2014 |access-date=21 December 2014 |publisher=Goal.com }}</ref>

The [[2019–20 Indian Super League season]] saw the most controversial and tight battle for the Golden Boot. [[Kerala Blasters FC]]'s captain [[Bartholomew Ogbeche]], [[ATK (football club)|ATK]] forward [[Roy Krishna]] and [[Chennaiyin FC|Chennaiyin's]] striker [[Nerijus Valskis]] finished with 15 goals a piece. Some critics claimed that [[Bartholomew Ogbeche|Ogbeche]] deserved the award as scored his 15 goal tally in just 16 appearances compared to the 21 appearances of [[Roy Krishna]] and 20 appearances of [[Nerijus Valskis|Valskis]]. But the league committee decided to take the number of assists into account as the number of goals were tied. So that put [[Bartholomew Ogbeche|Ogbeche]] out of the race for the golden boot as he finished with only 1 assist. Still both [[Roy Krishna]] and [[Nerijus Valskis|Valskis]] were tied with 6 assists each. Then taking the game time into consideration [[Nerijus Valskis|Valskis]] became the first [[Lithuania]]n striker to win the Indian Super League Golden Boot. The Indian football fans strongly had their own opinion, they believed it had to shared between the three prolific strikers.
