The Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ Emerging Writers is a Canadian literary award given each year by the Writers' Trust of Canada to a Canadian writer who is part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer community. At first, the prize was given for a writer's overall work, but since 2022, it has been awarded to recognize a writer's first book.

It is one of two literary awards in Canada that support the LGBTQ community, along with the Blue Metropolis Violet Prize, which honors established writers.

The award was created by artist Robin Pacific as the Dayne Ogilvie Grant in memory of Dayne Ogilvie, a book editor, writer, arts manager, and former managing editor of Xtra! magazine, who passed away in October 2006. In 2012, the grant was changed to a prize.

Established in 2007, the prize gives $5,000 to the winner. To qualify, writers must have published at least one book of fiction or poetry. A group of three independent judges selects the winner, and the award is given annually. It was usually presented in June, but the 2020 announcement was delayed to October due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In its early years, the award was held with Pride Toronto events, but later expanded to other cities and venues.

Starting in the prize's second year, a shortlist of two or three writers was introduced. Writers not chosen as the winner receive $500 if one person is named or $250 each if two people are named. Non-winning writers can still be considered for the prize in future years. In 2019, Casey Plett became the first person in the prize's history to be nominated again.

In 2022, the Writers' Trust changed the prize from recognizing a writer's overall career to honoring a writer's debut book. The award is now given in November at the same event as other Writers' Trust awards, instead of in June during Pride Month.
