The AP NFL Rookie of the Year (ROTY) is an annual award presented by the Associated Press (AP) to the top offensive and defensive first-year players in the National Football League (NFL). Winners are selected by a nationwide panel of 50 members of the AP who regularly cover the league.{{cite web|url=https://www.nfl.com/news/panthers-newton-voted-ap-offensive-rookie-of-the-year-09000d5d8269d38a |title=Panthers' Newton voted AP Offensive Rookie of the Year |work=NFL.com |agency=Associated Press |date=February 4, 2012 |access-date=January 29, 2013}} The AP has chosen an offensive rookie of the year since 1957 and a defensive rookie of the year since 1967. For the 2024 season, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and Los Angeles Rams outside linebacker Jared Verse were respectively named the offensive and defensive winners.

Ballots are cast at the end of the regular season and before the playoffs.
