Stewart, 29, previously picked up the honor in 2018 with the Seattle Storm, and has now become the second player to be named MVP with multiple teams in the league as she set a single-season record with four 40-point games.
The Liberty's first MVP arrived in Brooklyn this season as one of the most highly sought-after free agents following her prolific tenure in Seattle.
In her seventh WNBA season, the twice Finals MVP finished with a career-best average of 23 points per game.
"Stewie's first season with the New York Liberty has been nothing short of historic on every level," Liberty General Manager Jonathan Kolb said in a statement.
"The constant resiliency, belief, selflessness, toughness, and professionalism she has brought to the Liberty on a nightly basis is an incredibly rare combination - culminating in such a special season."
Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas finished second in the voting while last year's MVP, Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson, came third.
