Arsenal midfielder Mariona Caldentey has been named the Professional Footballers' Association women's player of the year, with her new team-mate Olivia Smith awarded the young player award.
USA manager Emma Hayes won the PFA merit award in recognition of her contributions to women's football during an illustrious career with Chelsea.
Caldentey, 29, scored 19 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions in her first season with the Gunners, following a move from Barcelona, including nine goals and five assists in the Women's Super League (WSL).
Arsenal team-mate Alessia Russo, Manchester City pair Mary Fowler and Yui Hasegawa, Chelsea's Erin Cuthbert and Manchester United's Phallon Tullis-Joyce were also on the shortlist.
Spain international Caldentey was named the WSL player of the year in May, an award that was voted for by supporters.
Arsenal finished second in the WSL, behind champions Chelsea, but beat Barcelona 1-0 in the Champions League final with Caldentey playing the whole match.
Canada forward Smith said it "means the world to her" to become the first foreign player to win the award.
She told BBC Sport: "This genuinely means the world to me, knowing that no other foreigner has won this award.
"Whenever I go home it's so cool to see the girls that are inspired by me, and being a role model they look up to is massive for me and a huge privilege. I want this to help other girls and boys."
Smith, 21, became the most expensive signing in women's football history when she completed a £1m move to the Gunners from Liverpool in July.
Smith made her international debut at 15 and joined Liverpool from Portuguese side Sporting a year ago for a club-record fee of just over £200,000.
