The Big Eight Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year was an annual award given to the Big Eight Conference's most outstanding player. The award was first given following the 1956–57 season and concluded after the 1995–96 season (the Big Eight disbanded and was re-formed into the present day Big 12 Conference). From 1960 through 1967 no award was given out. Wayman Tisdale of Oklahoma and Danny Manning of Kansas are the only players to have received the award three times. Manning was also the consensus national player of the year in 1988. Four other players won the award twice, last performed by Doug Smith of Missouri (1990, 1991). Missouri also claimed the most winners with eight, followed by Oklahoma with seven.
