The Vladimir Nazor Award (Croatian: Nagrada Vladimir Nazor) is a Croatian prize for arts and culture established in 1959 and awarded every year by the Ministry of Culture.

Named after the writer Vladimir Nazor (1876–1949), the prize is awarded to Croatian artists for achievements in six different fields of art and culture, and in each category every year two separate prizes are awarded - one for life achievement (for overall contributions to their respective field), and another one, commonly referred to as the "annual award", for a single piece of outstanding work in the field created over the previous 12 months.

The winners for the preceding year are usually announced around 19 June, the anniversary of Nazor's death, with prizes handed to recipients in an official ceremony usually held in July.
