The Portuguese superstar received 43.16% of the vote to win the coveted award, while arch rival Lionel Messi (19.25%) came in second ahead of Neymar (6.97%).
Like every year, FIFA has released a list of who the managers of each national team, captains of each national team and members of the media nominated in first, second and third choice for the honour.
Ronaldo, captain of Portugal, opted for Luka Modric (1st), Sergio Ramos (2nd) and Marcelo (3rd).
Meanwhile Messi, Argentina's skipper, chose Barcelona duo Luis Suarez (1st) and Andres Iniesta (2nd), while also picking former team-mate Neymar (3rd).
