Wollastonmedaljen

**Wollastonmedaljen** er en vitenskapelig pris innen geologi som tildeles av Geological Society of London. Medaljen er oppkalt etter William Hyde Wollaston og ble opprinnelig laget av palladium, et metall som ble oppdaget av Wollaston.

Med unntak av årene 1832-1834, hvor prisen ikke ble delt ut, har prisen blitt gitt ut årlig. I årene 1837, 1843, 1853 og 1921 ble det delt ut to priser.
