The Ivy League Men's Basketball Player of the Year is a basketball award given to the Ivy League's most outstanding player. The award was first given following the 1974–75 season. There have been six players honored on two occasions: Craig Robinson, Kit Mueller, Jerome Allen, Ugonna Onyekwe, Ibrahim Jaaber and Justin Sears. No player has ever won the award three times.

There have been two ties for player of the year in the award's history. The first time occurred in the 1981–82 season, when Paul Little of Penn shared the award with Craig Robinson of Princeton; the other was at the 1992–93 season's conclusion, when Jerome Allen of Penn tied Buck Jenkins of Columbia.

Winners

Craig Robinson is smiling for the camera while attending a very formal ball. He is wearing a dark black suit that has visible grey-colored lines running vertically through it. His white undershirt is complemented by a shiny, solid black tie.
Craig Robinson won the award twice while at Princeton. Today, he is the brother-in-law of former United States President Barack Obama.
