This article is about all-time records. For a season-by-season statistical breakdown, see List of Luton Town F.C. seasons. For statistics relating to the club's league record against a specific opponent, see Luton Town F.C. league record by opponent.

Fred Hawkes holds the record for most Luton Town league appearances, with 509.

Luton Town Football Club is an English professional football club based in Luton, Bedfordshire. The club was founded in 1885 and became the first professional club in southern England in 1891. Luton Town have played at all professional levels of English football and are currently contesting the 2023–24 season in the first tier, Premier League. Luton Town have been Football League members for 104 seasons: from 1897 to 1900; from 1920 to 2009, and from 2014 to 2023.

The record for most games played for the club is held by Bob Morton, who made 562 appearances between 1946 and 1964. Gordon Turner is the club's record goalscorer, with 276 goals across his 450 appearances for Luton. Mal Donaghy made 58 appearances for Northern Ireland and so is the Luton Town player who has gained the most caps while with the club. The highest transfer fee paid by the club is the £2 million paid to Barnsley for striker Carlton Morris in 2022, and the highest fees received is the £8 million fee paid by Leicester City for Luton-born James Justin, in 2019. The highest attendance recorded at Kenilworth Road was 30,069 for the visit of Blackpool in 1959. One Football League record is held by a Luton Town player—the 10 goals scored by forward Joe Payne in 1936 against Bristol Rovers is the most scored in any Football League match by a single player.

All records are correct as of the 2022–23 season.

Honours and achievements
