The Kościelski Award is a Polish literary award that has been given since 1962 by the Kościelski Foundation, which is based in Geneva. Each year, a group of judges selects awards for "promising writers" who are 40 years old or younger.

Some past winners include Sławomir Mrożek, Zbigniew Herbert, Alicja Iwańska, Bolesław Taborski, Wiktor Woroszylski, Adam Zagajewski, Wojciech Karpiński, Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz, Stefan Chwin, Jerzy Pilch, Marian Stala, Paweł Huelle, Andrzej Stasiuk, Olga Tokarczuk, Tomasz Różycki, Jacek Dehnel, Maciej Płaza, Krzysztof Siwczyk, Jolanta Stefko, Mikołaj Łoziński, and most recently, Jacek Dukaj. This award is the second oldest independent literary award in Poland, following the Award of the Union of Polish Writers Abroad, which was created in London in 1951.
