The Gene Kelly Awards for Excellence in High School Musical Theater, named after the actor/director Gene Kelly, are given out yearly by the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera.

The award was founded in 1991 and celebrates excellence in the musicals of the Pittsburgh area's high schools.

The organization also offers scholarships to high school seniors involved in any aspect of their school's production.

In 2009, the Gene Kelly Awards spawned the National High School Musical Theater Awards, nicknamed "The Jimmys", which Pittsburgh CLO co-produces with Nederlander Presentations.
