Merkür Ödülü

Merkür Ödülü (İngilizce: Mercury Prize), Birleşik Krallık ve İrlanda'da yılın en iyi albümüne verilen bir müzik ödülü.

Merkür Ödülü, 1992 yılından beri verilmektedir. İlk kez BPI ve BARD tarafından, müzik endüstrisinde tekel haline gelmiş BRIT Ödülleri'ne alternatif olarak düzenlenmiştir.

 Sponsorlar 
İlk başta şu an aktif olmayan Mercury Telecom tarafından sponsorluğu üstlenilen törenler, 1998'de Technics tarafından ve 2004'te de Nationwide Building Society tarafından desteklenmiştir.

 Seçimler 
Adaylar, BK ve İrlanda'da özenle seçilmiş olan müziğin patronları tarafından belirlenirler. Merkür Ödülleri beklenen adaylar yerine sürpriz kimselere verilmesiyle de meşhurdur. Ödül alan ya da aday gösterilen sanatçıların albüm satışlarında büyük artışlar gözlemlenmektedir.
