We witness multipartite entanglement in the Kitaev chain -- a benchmark model of one dimensional topological insulator -- also with variable-range pairing, using the quantum Fisher information. Phases having a finite winding number, both for short- and long-range pairing, are characterized by a power-law diverging finite-size scaling of multipartite entanglement. Moreover the occurring quantum phase transitions are sharply marked by the divergence of the derivative of the quantum Fisher information, even in the absence of a closing energy gap.
