Mercury Prize

Mercury Prize, dříve Mercury Music Prize, je hudební ocenění udělované každoročně nejlepšímu britskému nebo irskému albu. První předávání cen proběhlo v roce 1992 pod hlavičkou BPI (British Phonographic Industry – komunita britských nahrávacích společností).

Každý rok se nominuje několik desek (v roce 2020 se jejich počet ustálil na čísle 12) a to v červenci daného roku. Cenu získá jediné album – vyhlašování probíhá v září.
