The National Book Awards (można przetłumaczyć jako Narodowe Nagrody Książki) - to jedne z najbardziej prestiżowych nagród literackich w USA. Od 1950 roku przyznawane są autorom amerykańskim za wydaną w danym roku publikację. Od 1988 r. nagrodami zajmuje się National Book Foundation.
Nagrody są przyznawane obecnie w 4 kategoriach: fikcja literacka, literatura faktu, poezja i literatura młodzieżowa.
Laureaci są wybierani w każdej kategorii przez 5 osobowe, niezależne, eksperckie jury. Zwycięzcy i zdobywcy drugiego miejsca są ogłaszani w listopadzie na specjalnych The National Book Awards Ceremony and Dinner (ceremonia i obiad). Zwycięzca otrzymuje 10 tys. dolarów, następny nagrodzony (runner-up) 1 tys.
