The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Men's Basketball Player of the Year is a basketball award given to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference's most outstanding player. The award was first given following the 1981–82 season. Four players have won the award multiple times: Steve Burtt, Luis Flores and Justin Robinson each won twice, while Lionel Simmons won three times. Simmons, along with winning his third MAAC Player of the Year award, was also the consensus National Player of the Year in 1990.

There has been one tie in the award's history, in 2017–18. Of current member schools, only Quinnipiac, which only became a MAAC member in 2013, has never had a winner.
