The Canadian Premier League Player of the Year award has been awarded since the inaugural 2019 season. The award is given to the most valuable player of the Canadian Premier League as voted by members of the media. It is awarded annually at the Canadian Premier League Awards ceremony.

Initially the award was based on the entire Canadian Premier League season, including playoffs and finals.[1] In 2022, a change was made to all CPL awards so that they are only judged based on results from the regular season.[2] Tristan Borges of Forge FC was the first to win the award and is the only player to win the award twice. Kyle Bekker has received the most nominations with five as of the 2024 season.[3]
