The Mid-American Conference (MAC) Men's Basketball Player of the Year is a basketball award given to the most outstanding men's basketball player in the Mid-American Conference. The award was first given following the 1967–68 season. Four players have won the award multiple times: Tom Kozelko, Ron Harper, Gary Trent and Bonzi Wells. Trent is the only player to have been honored as Player of the Year three times (1993–95). There have been no ties, nor has any player from the MAC ever won any of the National Player of the Year awards.

Through 2011, Ohio has the most all-time winners with nine. Miami is second with six winners. All current members of the MAC have had at least one winner.
