The Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year is an award given to the men's basketball player in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) voted as the most outstanding player. It has been presented since the league's first season, 1953–54, by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association, and beginning in 2012–13 has also been presented in separate voting by the league's head coaches.{{cite web |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/awards/men/acc-poy.html |title=Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year Winners |author= |date=2024 |website=sports-reference.com |publisher=Sports Reference LLC |access-date=September 19, 2024}} The award was first given to Dickie Hemric of Wake Forest, and the coaches' award was first presented in 2013 to Shane Larkin of Miami.{{cite news|last =| first =| title=Wake Forest Picks Hemric Cage Captain |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/230981703 |newspaper=Daily Press |location=Newport News, Virginia |date=November 25, 1954 |page= 7|via =Newspapers.com|accessdate = September 19, 2024}}{{cite news|last =| first =| title=ACC coaches pick Miami's Larkin as conference's best |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/814606516 |newspaper=Anderson Independent-Mail |location=Anderson, South Carolina |date=March 20, 2013 |page= 30|via =Newspapers.com|accessdate = September 19, 2024}}

Two players have won the award three times: David Thompson of NC State and Ralph Sampson of Virginia.{{cite news|last =| first =| title=The ACC Player Of Year...

There have been two ties in the award's history, which occurred at the end of the 2000–01 and 2012–13 seasons: In 2000–01 Joseph Forte of North Carolina and Shane Battier of Duke shared the award, while in 2012–13 Erick Green of Virginia Tech and Larkin shared honors. Green and Larkin split the honor in the first year that the ACC began voting for players of the year by the conference's coaches and media separately (the media chose Green while the coaches chose Larkin).{{cite news|last =| first =| title=ACC Awards: Green player of year |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/423269346 |newspaper=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution |location=Atlanta, Georgia |date=March 13, 2013 |page= C4|via =Newspapers.com|accessdate = September 19, 2024}}
