Pulitzerprisen for musikk

**Pulitzerprisen for musikk** er en amerikansk pris som tildeles komponister. Den ble første gang delt ut i 1943.

Pulitzerprisens grunnlegger, Joseph Pulitzer, hadde opprinnelig ikke planlagt at det skulle bli en slik pris, men hadde lagt til rette i testamentet for at det kunne gis et musikkstipend. Dette stipendet ble så utviklet til denne prisen.
