The Mountain West Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year is an award given to the Mountain West Conference's most outstanding player.

The award was first given following the 1999–2000 season, the first year of the conference's existence.

As of 2023, no player has received the award multiple times.

Two winners of the conference award were consensus national players of the year: Andrew Bogut of Utah (2005) and Jimmer Fredette of BYU (2011).

Among current conference members, San Diego State has the most winners with five, with New Mexico in second place with four and Colorado State in third place with two.
