The talented winger, who qualifies to play for Scotland in the summer, has been in outstanding form this season - despite his club's own struggles domestically.
Visser, the 2010 young player of the year, finished top of the try-scoring charts for the third successive season - with his tally of 14 bringing his career haul to 36 in 56 appearances.
Glasgow Warriors full-back Stuart Hogg was named as the Young Player of the Year, finishing ahead of Gloucester-bound Ben Morgan and Leinster's Ian Madigan.
Leinster - who are targeting the Heineken Cup and RaboDirect PRO12 double - saw Joe Schmidt crowned the Coach of the Year title while Jonathan Sexton claimed the golden boot as the leading kicker in the competition.
