Great Midwest Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year

The Great Midwest Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year is a basketball award given to the Great Midwest Conference's most outstanding player. The award was short-lived and only handed out from 1992 to 1995. Four recipients received the award, but only Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway won more than once. Hardaway was the award's first and second all-time recipient as the Player of the Year.

Not to be confused with the also-defunct Great West Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year.
