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

The award was first given following the conference's inaugural basketball season of 1963–64.

Five players have won the award two times: Jerry Rook, Larry Jeffries, Andrew Toney, Ryan Stuart and Thomas Walkup.

McNeese has the most all-time winners with nine.

Among current SLC members, four have never had a winner: Houston Christian and Incarnate Word, both of which joined in 2013; East Texas A&M, which joined in 2022; and UTRGV, which is playing its first SLC season in 2024–25.
