Scroll through the gallery above to see Mbappe's top three for the Ballon d'Or.
Both Lionel Messi and Neymar were left out of the 30-man list, with the Argentine superstar missing out for the first time since 2005.
Mbappe included himself, Real Madrid star Karim Benzema and Bayern Munich star Sadio Mane as his top three for this year's award.
"My top three? I would say Benzema, myself, and Mané," Mbappe told France Football.
"I would say that this year is a success for Benzema. He's 34 years old, has just had the season of his life, has won another Champions League and is often decisive… If I were Karim, if I don't win this, I'll stop thinking about the Ballon d'Or forever. (laughs.)"
Mbappe added that he did thiink about the Ballon d'Or when considering a move to Los Blancos.
"If I thought about the Ballon d'Or while deciding my future? Yes, of course" he added.
"Real Madrid is a machine for the Ballon d'Or, that should be recognised. There is real know-how. But the clubs don't give you these awards."
