EuroLeague Final Four MVP

The EuroLeague Final Four Most Valuable Player Award is presented to the basketball player who has exhibited exceptional play during the EuroLeague Final Four. The award typically goes to the best player on the EuroLeague's best team. It is generally considered to be the most prestigious individual award in European professional club basketball.

The Final Four MVP award was first given at the end of the 1987–88 season, when the competition that would later become called EuroLeague Basketball, was then known as the FIBA European Champions Cup. Prior to the 1987–88 season, the Top Scorer of the Euroleague Finals was noted. However, an actual MVP was not named until the first EuroLeague Final Four of the modern era was held.

From the 1958 to 1986–87 seasons, the Top Scorer of the Euroleague Finals was noted, regardless of whether he played on the winning or losing team. However, there was no actual MVP award given.

All-time EuroLeague Final Four MVP award winners (1988 to present)

Since the end of the 1987–88 season, when the first EuroLeague Final Four (1988 Euroleague Final Four) was held, an MVP is named at the conclusion of each Final Four.

† The 2000–01 season was a transition year, with the best European teams splitting into two different major leagues: The SuproLeague, held by FIBA, and the EuroLeague, held by Euroleague Basketball. That season's EuroLeague Basketball tournament did not end with a Final Four tournament. Instead, it ended with a 5-game playoff series. So, Manu Ginóbili was named the EuroLeague Finals MVP that season.
