Ronaldo, 32, helped Real to a Champions League-La Liga double in 2016-17.
Lieke Martens of Barcelona and the Netherlands won best female player, Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane was named best men's coach and Netherlands'
Sarina Wiegman the best female coach.
Arsenal's Olivier Giroud received the Puskas award for the best goal of 2017 for his 'scorpion kick' against Crystal Palace in January.
Celtic won the fan award after they honoured the club's 1967 'Lisbon Lions' with a stunning 360-degree card display on the 50th anniversary of their historic European Cup win.
This is the second edition of the Best Fifa Football Awards, which are different to the Ballon d'Or.
A version of the Ballon d'Or has been awarded by France Football magazine since 1956, but world football's governing body has ended its association with that honour.
Instead, it introduced the Best Fifa Football Awards, with Ronaldo the first recipient of its main prize in January.
Voting for the player and coach categories was by national team captains and managers, selected journalists and, for the first time, an online poll of fans. Each accounted for 25% of the total.

'scorpion' kick volley in which he flicked an Alexis Sanchez cross from behind him over his shoulder and into the goal, via the crossbar, with his left heel.
Best goalkeeper
A World Cup winner, a 10-time Serie A winner, and now Gianluigi Buffon is the first winner of the best goalkeeper award.
The veteran Italian helped Juventus to a sixth consecutive league title and went 600 minutes without conceding in the Champions League.
Buffon, 39, won the award ahead of Keylor Navas, part of a Real Madrid's Champions League and La Liga double-winning side, and Manuel Neuer, who helped Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga.
"This is a great honour to receive this award at my age," said Buffon.
Fair play award
The ceremony also included the Fair Play Award, which recognised the gesture by Togolese player Francis Kone, who
performed life-saving first aid on Bohemians 1905's goalkeeper Martin Berkovec during a Czech League game in February.
