Didier Drogba: Another gong for the Ivorian
Drogba, who also won the award in 2006, was selected ahead of fellow Chelsea player Michael Essien of Ghana and Cameroon forward Samuel Eto'o.
Drogba won the award on his 32nd birthday, but he was not present to pick up the gong. Emmanuel Adebayor won the award last year.
The winner was decided by votes from the coaches of the national associations affiliated to the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Ghana striker Dominic Adiyiah picked up the Young Player of the Year award ahead of South African Kermit Erasmus of Feyenoord and Nigeria's Sani Emmanuel from Bodens BK.
Sellas Tetteh was named Coach of the Year having led the Black Stars' Under-20 side to World Cup glory last year.
There was also success for the Democratic Republic of Congo, who scooped the Africa Club of the Year and Best Player on the Continent awards in the form of Champions League winners TP Mazembe and their captain Tresor Mputu Mabi.
England's World Cup opponents Algeria were rewarded for qualifying for the finals for the first time in 24 years and reaching the African Nations Cup last four by being named National Team of the Year.
