# Gemini Award

De Gemini Award is een voormalige prestigieuze televisieprijs in Canada, vergelijkbaar met de Emmy Award in de VS. De uitreiking van de Gemini Award is elk jaar rechtstreeks te zien geweest op de Canadese televisie. De eerste prijsuitreiking was in 1986.
Op 4 september 2012 werd aangekondigd dat de Gemini Award zou worden samengevoegd met de Genie Awards tot de nieuwe Canadian Screen Award, die voor het eerst op 4 maart 2013 werden uitgereikt.
