# Locus Award

De Locus Award of Locus Poll Award is een literatuurprijs die sinds 1971 jaarlijks wordt uitgereikt door het Amerikaanse tijdschrift Locus voor sciencefiction-, fantasy- en horrorwerken. De Locus Award geldt naast de Hugo Award en de Nebula Award als een van de belangrijkste prijzen in de sciencefiction- en fantasyliteratuur.
De prijs is bedoeld om aanbevelingen te genereren voor de stemmers op de Hugo Award. De winnaars van de Locus Awards werden oorspronkelijk vastgesteld door middel van een stemming onder de lezers van het blad. Later werd dit aangepast zodat iedereen mocht gaan stemmen, waarbij stemmen van Locus-abonees dubbel gingen tellen.
