Premio al mejor Baloncestista Masculino del Año de la Southern Conference
# Premio al mejor Baloncestista Masculino del Año de la Southern Conference

El Premio al mejor Baloncestista Masculino del Año de la Southern Conference (en inglés, Southern Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year) es un galardón que otorga la Southern Conference al jugador de baloncesto masculino más destacado del año. El premio fue entregado por primera vez en la temporada 1951–52. Fred Hetzel de Davidson es el único jugador que ha ganado el premio en tres ocasiones (1963–65). Otros dieciséis jugadores lo han ganado dos veces, el más reciente Isaiah Miller de UNC Greensboro (2020-2021).

Davidson y Furman son las universidades con más premiados con trece. Ha habido ocho años con doble ganador a lo largo de la historia del galardón, pero solo uno (en la temporada 1970–71) ocurrió antes de la 1989–90. Ese año, el premio comenzó a ser seleccionado por los entrenadores y por los miembros de la prensa de la conferencia, por lo que se podían entregar dos premios. Cuando ambas partes seleccionan al mismo jugador, éste se convierte en el mejor jugador de la conferencia consensuado.

Entre los actuales miembros de la conferencia, solo Mercer y Samford no cuentan con ningún vencedor del premio.
