The Argentine attacker struck in the dying seconds to claim his latest landmark, which he has achieved in only 471 competitive matches for the Blaugrana.
Messi, still only 27, netted his first for Barca in 2005 against Albacete at Camp Nou and has since gone on to break many of the game's goalscoring records, though he has no plans of slowing down any time soon.
"Four hundred goals for Barcelona and I hope to score many more!" he wrote on his official Facebook page. "However, the most important part is that we got three points from a really tough game."
Barca's all-time top scorer, the Rosario-born forward also leads the goal charts in the Champions League and La Liga, while he is closing in on Gabriel Batistuta's 56 strikes for Argentina.
His goal against Valencia means he now has 46 goals in 46 appearances in all competitions this term, while he is four off Cristiano Ronaldo in the race for the Pichichi prize.
