Metro Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year

The Metro Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year was an award given to the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Athletic (Metro) Conference's most outstanding player. The award was first given following the 1976–77 season and was discontinued after the 1994–95 season. In 1995 the Metro Conference merged with the Great Midwest Conference to form Conference USA.

There were three ties in the award's history, in 1978, 1981 and 1988. One player, Darrell Griffith of Louisville, was also named the national player of the year (1980) by being presented the John R. Wooden Award.

Louisville represents the most all-time winners with eight. The second most belong to Southern Miss with three, all of which belong to Clarence Weatherspoon. Weatherspoon was the only three-time winner of the award, while two others earned it twice (Keith Lee and Clifford Rozier).
