# American Jazz Hall of Fame

De American Jazz Hall of Fame was een Amerikaanse jazzprijs die in 1982 werd ingesteld en jaarlijks (tot 2009) werd verleend om personen te eren die een bijzondere betekenis in de geschiedenis van de jazz hebben.
De prijs werd ingesteld door de New Jersey Jazz Society en het Institute of Jazz Studies van Rutgers University, het belangrijkste onderzoeksinstituut op het gebied van jazz in Amerika. Was de artiest nog in leven, dan werd de onderscheiding persoonlijk uitgereikt wanneer de muzikant in de regio rond New York optrad.
