The Indian Super League Player of the League is an annual association football award presented to the best player in the Indian Super League each season. The winner is presented with the Golden Ball.

The Indian Super League was founded in 2013 and played its inaugural season in 2014. It became the joint top-tier of the Indian football league system by the 2017–18 season and has been the top-tier since the 2022–23 season. The first Player of the League (then known as the Hero of the League for sponsorship reasons) was awarded to Iain Hume in 2014. Sunil Chhetri is the first Indian player to have won the award in the 2017–18 season.
