The Patriot League Men's Basketball Player of the Year is a basketball award given to the Patriot League's most outstanding player. The award was first given following the 1990–91 season, the first under the Patriot League name and also the league's first season as an all-sports conference. There have been five repeat winners of the award: Adonal Foyle of Colgate (1996, 1997), Brian Ehlers of Lafayette (1999, 2000), C. J. McCollum of Lehigh (2010, 2012), Mike Muscala of Bucknell (2011, 2013), and Tim Kempton Jr. of Lehigh (2015, 2016). Bucknell claims the most awards, with six, while Holy Cross and Lehigh are tied for second with five. Bucknell and Holy Cross are tied for the most individual players honored, with five each.

As of 2016, three Patriot League members have not had a winner: Army, Boston University, and Loyola (Maryland); only Army was a member before 2013. No ties have ever occurred for the player of the year award.
