context_page_description: The Big 12 Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Year is a basketball award given to the Big 12 Conference's most outstanding player. The award was first given following the 1996–97 season, the first year of conference competition but three years after the conference's official formation. As with the corresponding men's award, it is selected by the league's head coaches, who are not allowed to vote for their own players.
  Four players have won the award more than once. Stacey Dales of Oklahoma and Nicole Ohlde of Kansas State have won twice, and Courtney Paris of Oklahoma and Brittney Griner of Baylor have won three times. No freshman has ever won the award. Only the two three-time winners and 2015 recipient Nina Davis of Baylor have won as sophomores. Two players have won a major end-of-season national award in the year that they won the Big 12 award. Griner won all three major national awards in both 2012 and 2013, and Baylor's Odyssey Sims was the 2014 Wade Trophy recipient.
