This is a list of all red cards shown during FIFA World Cups; that is, the occasions when a player has been expelled from the game in a football World Cup Finals match (not including qualifying matches). As FIFA is the governing body of football, official red cards are only noted when FIFA recognised that a player was expelled or sent off in a match.
This list includes all dismissals since the first FIFA World Cup in 1930. The use of red and yellow cards to indicate dismissals and cautions is a more recent invention, having been introduced at the 1970 tournament.
