The Big 12 Conference Men's Basketball Coach of the Year is a basketball award given to the most outstanding men's basketball head coach in the Big 12 Conference, as chosen by a panel of sports writers and broadcasters. The award was first given following the 1996–97 season, the first year of the conference's existence, to Kansas Jayhawks head coach Roy Williams.
As of 2024, current Kansas Jayhawks head coach Bill Self has won the award six times, leading the league. Four other head coaches have won the award twice. The voting finished in a tie in 2011–12, with Self and Iowa State Cyclones head coach Fred Hoiberg sharing honors.
Five coaches have won Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year in the same season that they have also won a National Coach of the Year Award — Roy Williams, Larry Eustachy, Bill Self, Jerome Tang, and Kelvin Sampson. The Kansas Jayhawks have the most Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year Awards with eight, while the Texas Longhorns (which left for the Southeastern Conference in 2024) are second with four. Kansas State has the most individual recipients of the award with three; Iowa State, Kansas, and Texas Tech have had two recipients each. The only pre-2023 members that have never had a coach win are Colorado, which left the Big 12 in 2011 but returned in 2024, and TCU, a member since 2011. Sampson received the 2024 award with first-year member Houston, leaving the three other 2023 arrivals (BYU, Cincinnati, and UCF) without a winner for the time being. Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah are playing their first Big 12 seasons in 2024–25. Three former Big 12 members — Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma — also never had a winner.
