The Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) Finals MVP is the annual award that is handed out at the end of each Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) playoff finals series to the most valuable player of that season's CBA Finals. The award was first distributed at the end of the 1999–00 season. From that year until the 2011–12 season, international players (non Chinese/Taiwanese) were not allowed to win the award. Starting with the 2012–13 season, international players became eligible to win the award.
