The Lester B. Pearson Award is awarded annually to the National Hockey League's outstanding player in the regular season, as judged by members of the NHL Players Association (NHLPA).

The award is named in honour of Lester B. Pearson, Prime Minister of Canada from 1963 to 1968, winner of the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize, and a former player and coach of the University of Toronto Varsity Blues.

Wayne Gretzky won the award a record 5 times, from 1982-1987. Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins have won the award the most, with each franchise having 6 winners.
