The Reds defeated Aston Villa, Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Brighton in November as they moved eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Klopp saw off competition from Nuno Espirito Santo of Wolves, Leicester’s Brendan Rodgers and Chris Wilder of Sheffield United.
The Liverpool boss was also named Manager of the Month in August and September, and has now collected the prize on six occasions since joining the club.
It marks a perfect day for Klopp after he signed an improved deal through to 2024.
Klopp, who moved to Anfield in 2015, guided Liverpool to the Champions League title in June and an unbeaten start to the Premier League season.
He said: ‘For me personally this is a statement of intent, one which is built on my knowledge of what we as a partnership have achieved so far and what is still there for us to achieve.
‘When I see the development of the club and the collaborative work that continues to take place, I feel my contribution can only grow.

‘People see what happens on the pitch as a measure of our progress and although it is the best measure, it’s not the only measure. I have seen the commitment from ownership through to every aspect and function of the club you can think of.
‘When the call came in autumn 2015, I felt we were perfect for each other; if anything, now I feel I underestimated that. It is only with a total belief that the collaboration remains totally complementary on both sides that I am able to make this commitment to 2024.’
