The FIBA Europe Women's Player of the Year Award was a yearly Player of the Year (POY) award that has been given out by, FIBA's (the international governing body of the sport of basketball) European Division,——to the best female basketball player with European citizenship. The inaugural award was given in the "year 2005." And was awarded——to Maria Stepanova of Russia; whom also won the most awards, "having won the award three times." Playing in a FIBA tournament was not a requirement to be, "eligible to win the award."

The award was a calendar year by calendar year award, and was not a season by season award. The FIBA Europe Women's Player of the Year vote was decided upon by basketball experts. And fan voting.
