The Big Sky Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year is an annual basketball award given to the Big Sky Conference's most outstanding player. The award was first given following the 1978–79 season. Only one player—Larry Krystkowiak of Montana—has won the award three times (1984–86). Three others have been two–time winners: Orlando Lightfoot of Idaho (1993–94) and Harold Arceneaux (1999–2000) and Damian Lillard (2010, 2012) of Weber State.
As of 2016, Weber State has the most all-time awards, with 11, and individual winners, with nine. Montana is second in total awards with seven, while Idaho (which returned to the Big Sky in 2014 after an 18-year absence) has had six. Those two schools are tied for second in individual winners with five. Of current Big Sky members, only the two schools that joined in 2012, North Dakota and Southern Utah, have never had a winner.
