The Holberg Medal (Danish: Holberg-Medaljen) is an award to a Danish author of fiction or writer on science.
It is an appreciation of a literary or scientific work or of the award winner's authorship as a whole.
The prize is often awarded on 3 December, the birthday of Ludvig Holberg.
The first award was given in 1934 in connection with the 40th anniversary of the Danish association of authors.
