In Major League Baseball (MLB), the Player of the Week Award is given weekly during the regular season. It is given to two outstanding players, one each in the National League (NL) and American League (AL). The NL first awarded the honor during the season, and the AL began in . Players at all positions are eligible for the award.

The award was first issued on April 16, 1973, by NL president Chub Feeney. It was won by outfielder Jimmy Wynn of the Houston Astros, then a member of the NL. The first AL winner was Reggie Jackson, then with the Oakland Athletics, announced on April 10, 1974.

The most times a player has won the award is 16, accomplished by both Miguel Cabrera and Manny Ramirez. Several other players have won the award 12 or more times: Barry Bonds (15), Aaron Judge (15), Albert Pujols (14), Frank Thomas (14), Alex Rodriguez (13), Nolan Ryan (13), George Brett (12), J. D. Martinez (12), Mike Piazza (12), and Gary Sheffield (12).
