The Players Choice Awards are annual major league baseball awards.

The Players Choice Awards are unique because the electorate consists of the players themselves. Voting each September is by secret ballot. The awards included Player of the Year, as well as -- in each league -- Outstanding Player, Outstanding Pitcher, Outstanding Rookie, and Comeback Player. Also awarded is The Marvin Miller Man of the Year Award, which is given annually to "the player in either league whose on-field performance and contributions to his community inspire others to higher levels of achievement."

Each Players Choice Award winner designates a charity to receive a grant ranging from $20,000 to $50,000 from the Players Trust, a non-profit foundation created and administered by the players.

Winners of the awards, since they were begun in 1992, are:
