The ICC Men's T20 World Cup, formerly known as the ICC World Twenty20, is the premier biennial tournament for the Twenty20 International (T20I) format.

Bowling records in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup highlight the impact of pace and spin across different eras of the tournament. The statistical categories for bowling performance include most career wickets, best bowling figures, most wickets in a single tournament, and hat-tricks. These metrics track consistency over multiple editions and peak performance in individual matches.
Most career wickets measures the total dismisses accumulated by a bowler across all matches played in the tournament history. This record reflects longevity and consistent selection by national teams. Best bowling figures refer to the highest number of wickets taken for the fewest runs conceded in a single innings. This metric often highlights dominant spells that can single-handedly shift the momentum of a match. Most wickets in a tournament tracks the total dismisses achieved by a bowler within one specific edition of the World Cup. This record emphasizes peak form during a concentrated period of play. Hat-tricks represent a rare achievement where a bowler takes three wickets in three consecutive balls. These moments are significant statistical outliers in the T20I format.
The evolution of the tournament schedule from odd years to even years has influenced the accumulation of these records. The rebranding in 2018 marked a shift in the tournament's identity, though the statistical continuity remains intact. The exceptions in 2018 and 2020 disrupted the regular biennial rhythm, affecting the timing of record updates. The ICC continues to organise the event as the global standard for T20I cricket.
