Most recentJacob Ognacevic, Lipscomb

The ASUN Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year is an annual award given to the ASUN Conference's most outstanding player. The award was first given following the 1978–79 season, the first year of the ASUN's existence, when it was known as the Trans America Athletic Conference (TAAC). Only two players have won the award three times: Willie Jackson of Centenary (1982–1984) and Darius McGhee of Liberty (2021–2023).

Centenary has the most all-time winners with six, but left the conference in 2000, when the league was still known as the TAAC. There has been only one tie in the award's history, which occurred in 1997–98 between Mark Jones of UCF and Sedric Webber of Charleston. Among the 12 current ASUN members, only four have had a winner: Eastern Kentucky, Florida Gulf Coast, Lipscomb, and North Florida.
