The '''Mythopoeic Awards''' for literature and literary studies are given annually for outstanding works in the fields of myth, fantasy, and the scholarly study of these areas.
Established by the [[Mythopoeic Society]] in 1971, the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award is given for "fiction in the spirit of the [[Inklings]]", and the Scholarship Award for non-fiction work.<ref name=fantasy-encyclopedia /><ref name=walton-2018 /> The award is a statuette of a seated lion, with a plaque on the base. It has drawn resemblance to, and is often called, the "[[Aslan]]".<ref name=locus-1999 />

The Mythopoeic Award is one of the "principal annual awards" for fantasy according to critic [[Brian Stableford]].<ref name=stableford>{{cite book |last=Stableford |first=Brian M. |author-link=Brian Stableford |title=The A to Z of Fantasy Literature |publisher=Scarecrow Press |year=2009 |page=31 |isbn=978-0-8108-6345-3}}</ref> From 1971 to 1991, there was one award per category, annual but not always awarded before 1981. Dual awards in each category were established in 1992: Mythopoeic Fantasy Awards for Adult Literature and Children's Literature; Scholarship Awards in Inklings Studies, and Myth and Fantasy Studies.<ref name=fantasy-encyclopedia /><ref name=white-2018 /> In 2010, a Student Paper Award was introduced for the best paper presented at Mythcon by an undergraduate or graduate student;<ref name="student">{{cite web|url=http://www.mythsoc.org/mythcon/alexei.htm|title=The Mythopoeic Society – Alexei Kondratiev Award (Student Paper)|work=Mythopoeic Society|access-date=2019-05-28}}</ref> it was renamed the Alexei Kondratiev Award several months after its creation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mythsoc.org/news/news-2010-06-09.htm|title=Student Paper Award Named In Honor of Alexei Kondratiev|work=Mythopoeic Society|access-date=2017-01-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210709170400/http://www.mythsoc.org/mythcon/alexei.htm|archive-date=2021-07-09|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2024, Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Young Adult Literature was established.
