The Manchester United midfielder has thrived during his loan spell with West Ham United, helping to ensure David Moyes's men still have a chance of reaching next season's Champions League.
After scoring four goals in four games, the in-form England international has been in sparkling form.
United forward Mason Greenwood was also on the shortlist for the prize but missed out to his Old Trafford colleague, who was also previously nominated for the award in both February and March.
“It’s amazing,” Lingard told West Ham's official website. “It’s the first time in my career that I’ve received this award and I’d obviously like to thank the fans for voting, my team-mates and staff for helping me get there.
