The Autosport Awards are a series of awards presented by British motorsport magazine Autosport to drivers, constructors, executives and promoters for achievements that season in auto racing and rallying.
Select awards are voted for by the general public via a readers' poll, with others chosen by a panel of experts. The awards have been presented every year since 1982. They were traditionally held in December each year at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Mayfair. For the 2024 edition, they moved to the Roundhouse in Camden and hosted the awards the following January.
