The Goal of the Year in Germany is, like the Goal of the Month (Tor des Monats), the Goal of the Decade and Goal of the Century, an individual football award selected by spectators of the Sportschau (ARD German TV), among spectacular or important football goals scored in or for Germany.

Klaus Fischer won it three times; his 1977 "Bicycle kick" was also pronounced Goal of the Century. He scored it on 16 November 1977 in the international game of Germany versus Switzerland in the Neckarstadion, Stuttgart.
