Japan Professional Sports Grand Prize (日本プロスポーツ大賞, Nippon Puro Supōtsu Taisyō?) is given to one sportsperson or sports team every year since 1968 by Japan Professional Sports Association. The award is one of the most prestigious all-sport awards in Japanese sport. The recordholders are baseball players Ichiro Suzuki and Sadaharu Oh (three awards). A committee of representatives from Tokyo newspapers, wire services, television and radio for sports media are responsible for making the selections. The winner is given the Prime Minister Trophy.
