Balón de Oro
Awarded for Best footballers of Liga MX
Country  Mexico
Presented by Mexican Federation of Association Football
First awarded 1975
Currently held by France André-Pierre Gignac (2015–16)

Balón de Oro, also referred to as Mexican Golden Ball (Spanish: Balón de Oro del fútbol mexicano), is an annual Mexican awards ceremony by the Mexican Federation of Association Football to the best association football players, head coaches, and referees of the Liga MX each season. Until 1997, it was an annual award, afterwards the prize was rewarded at the end of the football season. Since 1996/97 the single championship was split into two single-round tournaments, giving birth to the current Apertura and Clausura arrangement, and Balón de Oro is followed them. In 2001/02 no awards were handed out as the officials forgot about organising an election.[1] From the Torneo Clausura 2012, the ceremony was discontinued.

The Mexican Best Footballer (Spanish: Balón de Oro al mejor jugador, that literally translates to Golden Ball to the Best Football Player) is a half-yearly award given by the Mexican Federation of Association Football as one of the Balón de Oro Awards.
