The British Basketball League Most Valuable Player award was an annual award of the United Kingdom's top professional basketball league, the British Basketball League. It was awarded to the league's top performing player throughout the duration of the season. The award was decided by a panel consisting of each of the League's team's head coaches, who submit one vote each at the end of the regular season, and the player with the most votes was presented with the award. Only on one occasion - the 2006–2007 season - was the award been shared between two players (Jeff Bonds and Brian Dux) due to a tie in the voting. Six players - Alton Byrd, Tony Dorsey, Trey Moore and Andrew Sullivan, Rahmon Fletcher, Justin Robinson - have won the award twice, whilst only three British-born players have won the award, namely Roger Huggins, Andrew Sullivan, and Justin Robinson.
