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

Keith Van Horn of Utah and Nick Fazekas of Nevada are the only players to have won the award three times.

Three other players—Michael Cage, Josh Grant and Melvin Ely—have won the award twice.

Danny Ainge, the first ever WAC Player of the Year, was also the John R. Wooden Award winner in 1980–81.

Due mainly to major membership turnover from 2010 to 2014 and further turnover in the early 2020s, only three current WAC members (California Baptist, Utah Valley, and Grand Canyon) have had a winner.
