The Ukrainian Footballer of the Year is an annual journalist award given by the Ukrainskiy Football ("Ukrainian Football") newspaper to the best professional Ukrainian footballer since 1991. The Ukrainian Footballer of the Year award is given to native Ukrainians.
There is also another award of the best footballer in the Ukrainian Premier League that was established in 1995 by the other newspaper Komanda. That award is not restricted to the Ukrainian nationals as in case of Ukrainian Football, but rather to the Premier League players.
From 1969 till 1990, the Ukrainian newspaper Molod Ukrainy ("Youth of Ukraine") conducted polls to determine the footballer of the year, and subsequently Ukrainskiy Football took over (which is published by the same publisher as Molod Ukrainy) from 1991.

The Komanda award for the best footballer in the Ukrainian Premier League was established in 1995 by the Komanda newspaper. It is actually called the Ukrainian Premier League Footballer of the Year (Vyscha Liha Footballer of the Year before 2008). It is being evaluated by the participants of the League, players and coaches.
Komanda also runs a list The best 33 football players of Ukraine (33 найкращі футболісти України) as an annual composed list of the three best football (soccer) players in each position (amplua) for the annual calendar. This is based on the Spisok 33 which ran in the Soviet era until 1992, when it became the Russian league List of 33 .
