The Super Eight Most Valuable Player is an award for the best individual performance during the Super Eight in Brockton, Massachusetts. The recipient of the award is announced at the completion of the Super Eight Championship Game. The award is similar to Major League Baseball's World Series Most Valuable Player award.

Since 2014, the winner of the award has received a wooden bat engraved with the award title.[1] Nobody has yet to win the award from the losing team of the Super Eight Baseball Tournament. The Super Eight started in 2014, and the award has been given out every year, from the start.

Braintree's Scott Creedon became the first and only player to win back-to-back MVP Awards. In 2016, Creedon was also named ESPNBoston Mr. Baseball for best player in the state throughout the season.
