The Lionel Conacher Award is an annual award given to Canada's male athlete of the year. The sports writers of the Canadian Press (CP) first conducted a poll to determine the nation's top athlete, of either gender, in 1932.

It was named after Lionel Conacher, a multi-sport champion whom the news organization had name
