The Naismith College Coach of the Year Award (officially known for sponsorship reasons as the Werner Ladder Naismith College Coach of the Year){{cite web |url=https://www.sportico.com/leagues/college-sports/2024/naismith-award-nonprofit-atlanta-tipoff-club-1234774054/ |title=Naismith Awards' Nonprofit Keeps Eye on Sponsor Prize |last=Libit |first=Daniel |date=6 April 2024 |website=Sportico |publisher=Penske Media Corporation |access-date=31 May 2024}} is an award given by the Atlanta Tipoff Club to one men's and one women's NCAA Division I collegiate coach each season since 1987. The award was originally given to the two winning coaches of the NCAA Division I basketball tournament for the first two years of its existence; in 1989, the Naismith Award's governing board decided to give it out via voting process.

The men's side has had five multiple winners: John Calipari and Mike Krzyzewski with three each, and Tony Bennett, Mark Few, and Jay Wright with two each.

The women's side has also had five multiple winners: Geno Auriemma with eight; Pat Summitt with five; Dawn Staley with four; and Muffet McGraw and Tara VanDerveer with three each.
