The Pavel Bure Most Exciting Player Award is an annual award presented by the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL) to the player judged to be team's most exciting as voted by the fans. It is one of six annual team awards presented to Canucks players, awarded on the last home game of the regular season. Although the Canucks media guide does not recognize any recipients prior to the 1992–93 season, there is record of an annual winner every year since the Canucks' inaugural NHL season in 1970. Prior to the 2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, the award was simply known as the Most Exciting Player Award.

On November 1, 2013, Canucks Sports & Entertainment announced that it would renamed the award as the Pavel Bure Most Exciting Player Award in honour of the team's first Hockey Hall of Fame inductee and five-time winner of the award, Pavel Bure.

The most recent recipient is Zeev Buium, who won it for the first time in the 2025–26 season.

The most prolific award winners in award's history have been: Tony Tanti – 5 times (1984–1988) Pavel Bure – 5 times (1992–1995, 1998) Todd Bertuzzi – 4 times (2000, 2002–2004) Bobby Lalonde – 3 times (1975–1977) Alexandre Burrows – 3 times (2008–2010)
