The PBA Finals Most Valuable Player is a Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) award given to the best performing player of a conference finals series as voted by the PBA Press Corps. Usually, the award is given to a player from the conference champion team and is always given at the end of the finals series. The award can only be given to Filipino or Filipino-foreigner players, and not the team's import.
The award was first given out after the 1996 All-Filipino Cup finals. Beginning with the 2025–26 Philippine Cup finals, recipients were given the Ramon Fernandez Trophy, named after 19-time PBA champion Ramon Fernandez.
June Mar Fajardo has the most Finals MVPs with five. Danny Seigle, Brandon Cablay, and Mikey Williams are the only rookies to win the award, with Williams winning it in his first conference. In 2024, Jayson Castro became the oldest to win the award. On rare occasion, two players from the same team shared the award in a single conference, with the most recent duo to accomplish this feat being Jimmy Alapag and Castro during the 2011 Commissioner's Cup finals.
