Az NFL Legértékesebb Játékosa díj

Az NFL Legértékesebb Játékosa díj (NFL Most Valuable Player Award; NFL Player Of The Year) egy díj, amit a National Football League legértékesebb játékosa kap. Ezt a címet minden évben az amerikai sportsajtó osztja ki. Mivel az újságok nem mindig ugyanúgy ítélik meg a játékosok teljesítményét, ezért egy évben többen is megkaphatják különböző újságoktól ezt a címet. 1949-ben és 1950-ben nem rendeztek választást. Az alábbi táblázat visszatekint az 1970 előtti évekre is, amikor még két liga, az AFL és az NFL is létezett.
