The Western Australian Sports Star Award, currently presented at the SportWest Awards, is an annual award for sportspeople from the Australian state of Western Australia and/or playing for teams based in Western Australia.
It has been running since 1956 and has grown to celebrate sport in the West Australian community along with high-performance achievements that have been part of the tradition of the Awards.
Another cricketer, Rod Marsh, was the second person to win the award four times (1972, 1973, 1974, and 1981), and is the only person to win the award in three consecutive years.
Golfer Graham Marsh (1973, 1977, 1985, and 1986) and hockey player Ric Charlesworth (1976, 1979, 1986, and 1987) also won the award four times, while swimmer David Dickson (1961, 1963, and 1966) and tennis player Margaret Court (1969, 1970, and 1973) won the award three times.
The most recent edition of the SportWest Awards was presented at Optus Stadium on 23 February 2023 where Jai Hindley became a two-time winner of Western Australia's most prestigious sports award following victory in the 2022 Giro d'Italia.
