The Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award - named in honour of Frank O'Connor, who devoted much of his work to the form - was an international literary award presented for the best short story collection.

The prize amount, as of 2012[update] as €25,000, making it one of the richest short-story collection prizes in the world (see also Premio de Narrativa Breve Ribera del Duero).
