The Canberra Medallion is an annual architecture award presented by the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects.

Established in 1956, the Canberra Medallion is one of the oldest architecture awards in Australia.

In 1962 when the ACT Chapter was established the award was renamed and a bronze medallion to 'equal the prestige of the Sulman Medal' was added.

[2] The medallion was designed by Peter Swalling in 1968 and first presented to the 1968 Canberra Medallion winning project, the Norwood Park Crematorium.

[3] Note: Prior to 1962 the Canberra Medallion was known as the ACT Meritorious Architecture Award.
