The Serie A Player of the Month, officially known as the EA Sports FC Player of the Month for sponsorship reasons, is an association football award that recognises the best player each month in Serie A, the top tier of the Italian football league system. The winner is chosen by an online public vote, in which voters choose from five nominees. The nominees are chosen through analysis by data tracking software, which consider statistical data, positional data and the contribution to the technical and physical efficiency of the team.
The first award was assigned to Fiorentina player Franck Ribéry for his performances in September 2019. Paulo Dybala has won the award a record five times; he, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Rafael Leão and Lautaro Martínez are the only four players to win the award multiple times in the same season, while Kvaratskhelia is the only player to win in consecutive months. Napoli players have won the award a record twelve times and they alongside Atalanta are the only clubs to have players win the award in consecutive months. Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Dybala, Dušan Vlahović and Moise Kean are the only players to win the award with two different teams: AC Milan and Inter Milan for Çalhanoğlu, Juventus and Roma for Dybala and Fiorentina and Juventus for both Vlahović and Kean.
