The Korean Basketball League Defensive Player of the Year Award (Korean: 최우수수비상) is an annual Korean Basketball League (KBL) award given to the best defensive player during the regular season.
The awardee is selected from players voted into the Defensive Best 5 (Korean: 수비 5걸) team.
In addition to contributing to their team's overall defensive record, selected players must accumulate high averages in the following statistical categories: blocks, steals and defensive rebounds.
[1] There were no Defensive Best 5 selections from the 2011–12 season until the 2013–14 season.
During that time period, only the Defensive Player of the Year Award was awarded to one player.
