The Sportsperson of the Year awards are a group of awards awarded to the most popular Luxembourgish sportsperson of the preceding year, as voted by the national sportspress. There are two main categories: one for men (French: Trophée du Meilleur Sportif), and one for women (Trophée de la Meilleure Sportive). Other awards are given for the best team (Challenge de la Meilleure Equipe), best young sportsperson (Prix du Jeune Espoir), most honorable sportsperson (Prix d'Honneur), and for fair play (Prix du Fair play). In 2022, the voting for the men's award reached a tie for the first time, the award going to both Bob Jungels and Dylan Pereira. On the women's side, Sarah de Nutte and Ni Xia Lian won the award together after having been nominated as a pair.
From 1954 until 1965, there was a single title of "Sportsperson of the Year", awarded to either a male or female sportsperson.
