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 five players honored on two occasions: Craig Robinson, Kit Mueller, Jerome Allen, Ugonna Onyekwe and Ibrahim Jaaber. 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.
