Barcelona midfielder Bonmati won the Women's Ballon d'Or for the first time as she helped Spain to maiden World Cup glory in August and won a league and Champions League double at club level.
Bonmati won the Golden Ball for the best player of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, while she was recently named UEFA Women's Player of the Year.
The 25-year-old became the second Spanish player to win the Women's Ballon d'Or after Barcelona compatriot Alexia Putellas was awarded the prize for the last two years.
Bonmati beat Chelsea and Australia striker Sam Kerr to the award, while England and Manchester United goalkeeper Mary Earps finished fifth in the voting after winning the Golden Glove at the World Cup.
Fellow Lionesses Rachel Daly (10th), Millie Bright (11th) and Georgia Stanway (23rd) were among the nominees for the fifth edition of the women's award, with Arsenal and Republic of Ireland's Katie McCabe finishing 22nd.
Meanwhile, Bonmati's team Barcelona won the women's club of the year award after they won the Champions League and Spanish league title last season.
