Southeastern Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Year

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) Women's Basketball Player of the Year is an award given to the most outstanding player in the Southeastern Conference.

SEC Women's Basketball Player of the Year
Awarded for	the most outstanding women's basketball player in the Southeastern Conference
Country	United States
First award	1987
Currently held by	Madison Booker, Texas

Although the SEC began its women's postseason tournament in 1980, and began official regular-season conference play in the 1982–83 season,^[1] a Player of the Year award was not created until the 1986–87 season.

Currently, two bodies vote for Players of the Year. The league's coaches have selected a Player of the Year since the 1986–87 season, and the Associated Press began presenting its version of the award in the 1996–97 season.^[2] The two voting bodies have split their honors three times, most recently in 2012–13 when the AP honored A'dia Mathies of Kentucky and the coaches honored Meighan Simmons of Tennessee.

The school with the most SEC Player of the Year award winners is Tennessee, with 9 total awards. Six SEC members have yet to have a winner—charter SEC members Alabama and Ole Miss; 2012 arrivals Missouri and Texas A&M; and 2024 arrival Oklahoma

While ten players have won at least a share of the award twice, only one, A'ja Wilson of South Carolina, has won three times.
