The Wisława Szymborska Award is a Polish annual international literature prize presented by the Wisława Szymborska Foundation. It was established in 2013, and was named in honour of the Nobel Prize-winning poet Wisława Szymborska (1923–2012).

It is awarded to authors of best poetry works published the previous year. Both books written in Polish and translated into Polish are eligible for the award and can be submitted by the authors themselves, publishing houses, cultural institutions as well as members of the award committee. The award carries a cash prize of PLN 200,000 ($50,000) for the winner and PLN 50,000 ($15,000) for the translator, which makes it one of the most valued literary prizes in Poland.[2][3][4][5]
