The Southeastern Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year is an award given to the most outstanding player in the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

The school with the most SEC Player of the Year award winners is Kentucky, with 18 total awards.

The only current SEC members that have never had a winner are Missouri, Texas A&M, Texas, and Oklahoma, who are the conference's two newest members (the first two joining in 2012 and the latter two in 2024).

Three different organizations have given this award: United Press International (1965–1992), Associated Press (1965–present), and the SEC coaches (1987–present).
