The Basketball Africa Coach of the Year Award is an annual Basketball Africa League (BAL) award given to the best coach of a given season. The award was first handed out in the 2022 season to José Neto.

The winner of the award is based on two criteria: developed a mutually respectful relationship with league, game officials, media, opponents and fans; and had the best results based on the resources at their disposal.

The winner of the awards is decided by voting by all head coaches and two assistant coaches per team, which cannot vote on a coach on their same team. Fouad Abou Chakra is the only award to winner to have won the championship in the same season, in 2025.
