The 28-year-old helped Brighton avoid relegation and captained Australia in World Cup qualifying wins over Taiwan and Jordan.
Three-times PFA player of the year Aaron Mooy, Korea-based striker Adam Taggart and FC Midtjylland winger Awer Mabil were the other nominees.
Catley, 26, was voted women's player of the year for the first time, ahead of four-times winner Sam Kerr and Emily van Egmond, after captaining Melbourne City to an unbeaten W-League premiership-championship double.
Australia's vice-captain, Catley continued to deliver standout performances for the Matildas and signed with Arsenal earlier this year.
Young gun Ellie Carpenter was voted the young women's footballer of the year after a brilliant season with W-League champions City, ahead of 2019 recipient Karly Roestbakken and youth international Kyra Cooney-Cross.
The 20-year-old Carpenter backed up her club form with fine performances for the Matildas, earning a move to European champions Olympique Lyonnais.
New Zealand left-back Liberato Cacace won the Harry Kewell Medal for a superb campaign with Wellington, claiming the under-23 player award ahead of Cameron Devlin and Riley McGree.
Cacace, 20, has since moved to Belgium to play under Australian coach Kevin Muscat at Sint-Truiden.
