Paraguayan Footballer of the Year
The Paraguayan Footballer of the Year is an award given to the best Paraguayan professional football player every year. The award began officially in 1997 and it is presented by Paraguayan newspaper ABC Color. Players that participate in this award can play in any professional football club in the world (although they do not necessarily have to be Paraguayan football clubs) and have to be either Paraguayan-born or Paraguayan-naturalised players.
A second award, voted by the public, was established in 2004. Justo Villar was the inaugural winner.

Notes
- Santa Cruz appears both as a Club Olimpia and Bayern Munich player, because he played the first half of 1999 for the Paraguayan club, before eventually being transferred to Bayern Munich in August 1999.
- Cardozo appears both as a Club Nacional and Newell's Old Boys player, because he played the first half of 2006 for the Paraguayan club, before being transferred to Newell's Old Boys in the second half of 2006.
- Aguilar appears both as a Sportivo Luqueño and Club Tijuana player, rather than his parent club San Luis, because he played the first half of 2012 on loan to the Paraguayan club, and the second half of 2012 on loan to the Mexican club.
