The Portugal captain beat Barcelona forward Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to the award.
Wolfsburg and Germany midfielder Nadine Kessler was named women's player of the year, while Colombia's
James Rodriguez won goal of the year.
Germany's World Cup winner Joachim Low won men's coach of the year.
Wolfsburg boss Ralf Kellermann was named women's
football coach of the year after a successful defence of the Champions
League.
The three candidates for the Ballon d'Or were all
picked in the team of the year, along with defenders Philipp Lahm, David
Luiz, Thiago Silva and Sergio Ramos, midfielders Andres Iniesta, Toni
Kroos and Angel Di Maria and forward Arjen Robben.
Much is made of the
tensions that exist between Ronaldo and Messi but this is not a rivalry
to promote something. This antipathy is genuine and was evident from the
moment they walked into a cavernous room in Zurich's Kongresshaus for a pre-ceremony conference.
Ronaldo
successfully defended his world player of the year status
convincingly with 37.66% of all votes, winning for a third time.
Barcelona and Argentina counterpart Lionel Messi - who won four years in
a row until Ronaldo beat him last year, was second on 15.76%. He was
narrowly ahead of Bayern Munich and Germany keeper Manuel Neuer, who had
15.72%.
Ronaldo, who scored 52 goals in 43 games during 2014,
looked emotional when collecting the award from former France, Barcelona
and Arsenal striker Thierry Henry.
The 29-year-old said: "I would like to thank all of
those who voted for me, my president, my coach and Real Madrid. It has
been an unforgettable year. To win this trophy at the end of it is
something incredibly unique."
