The 33-year-old New Zealander led the Premiership points charts with 266 points as The Wasps ended the regular season top of the table for the first time.
"I'm very humbled and surprised to win this award and I am even more proud for the recognition shown by my fellow players," Gopperth said.
"I am very lucky to be part of such a driven and successful club, and my teammates deserve this award as much as I do, I'm sure I will look back at this moment down the track and be extremely proud."
