The Vancouver Canucks' Most Exciting Player Award is one of six annual team awards given to the player judged to be the most exciting, as voted by the fans. The award is presented at the last home game of the regular season. Although the Canucks Media Guide does not recognize any recipients prior to the 1992–93 season, there is record of an annual winner every year since the Canucks' inaugural season in 1970. The most recent recipient is Ryan Kesler, who received the award for the 2010–11 season.

The most prolific award winners in Canucks history have been:

• Tony Tanti – 5 times (1984–88)
• Pavel Bure – 5 (1992–1995, 1998)
• Todd Bertuzzi – 4 (2000, 2002–2004)
• Bobby Lalonde – 3 (1975–1977)
• Alexandre Burrows - 3 (2008–10)
