The Ebony Shoe award (Dutch: Ebbenhouten schoen, French: Soulier d’ébène[1]) is a football award in Belgium given annually to the best African or African origin player in the Belgian Pro League. The jury is composed of the coaches of league clubs, the Belgian national team manager, sport journalists, and honorary juror(s).

As of 2014, Mbark Boussoufa (3 wins), Daniel Amokachi (2 wins) and Vincent Kompany (2 wins) are the only players to have won the trophy more than once.
