Michael L. Printz -palkinto

Michael L. Printz -palkinto on American Library Associationin (ALA) parhaalle nuortenkirjalle vuosittain myöntämä kirjallisuuspalkinto. Palkintoa hallinnoi ALA:n nuorten aikuisten jaosto Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), ja se jaetaan puhtaasti kirjallisten meriittien perusteella. Voittajan lisäksi vuosittain annetaan korkeintaan neljä kunniamainintaa kirjoille, jotka myös edustavat nuorten aikuisten kirjallisuuden parhaimmistoa.

Palkinto on nimetty Topeka West High Schoolin pitkäaikaisen kirjastonhoitaja Mike Printzin mukaan, joka oli myös aktiivisesti mukana YALSA:n toiminnassa.
