The Angolan Basketball League MVP Award, for sponsorships reasons named the Unitel Basket MVP, is an annual basketball award given out to the most valuable player of a given Angolan Basketball League season.

The award was first handed out in 1998. Olímpio Cipriano won a record four MVP awards in his career. American-born Cedric Isom is the only foreign player in the league's history to have won the award.
