East Carolina Pirates football statistical leaders

The East Carolina Pirates football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the East Carolina Pirates football program in various categories,^[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Pirates represent East Carolina University in the NCAA's American Athletic Conference.

East Carolina began competing in intercollegiate football in 1932.^[1] However, these lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:

Since 1932, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length.
The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until 1972 (with the exception of the World War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers.
Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.^[2] The Pirates have played in eight bowl games since then, allowing players an extra game to accumulate statistics.
The recent decade has seen two players set NCAA records: Justin Hardy, who caught 387 passes, more than anyone in all of college football ever had, until fellow Pirate Zay Jones broke the record in 2016.^[3] Jones also set the NCAA single-season record with 158 receptions, which is more than all but 2 other East Carolina receivers have ever had in their whole careers.

The 2015 East Carolina Football Media Guide does not list a top 10 in all statistics, sometimes only listing a leader. These lists are updated through the end of the 2016 season.
