The Shogakukan Manga Award is one of Japan's major manga awards, sponsored by Shogakukan Publishing. It has been awarded annually for serialized manga since 1955 and features candidates from a number of publishers.

The current award categories are:

• Children's (児童向け部門, Jidō muke bumon^?)
• Boy's (少年向け部門, Shōnen muke bumon^?)
• Girl's (少女向け部門, Shōjo muke bumon^?)
• General (一般向け部門, Ippan no muke bumon^?)

Initially, there was only one general award. In 1976, the Boy's category was introduced, which was expanded in 1980 to a joint Boy's/Girl's category, then split in 1984 into separate Boy's and Girl's awards. The Children's category was introduced in 1982. From 1976 to 1989, the General category was called the Seinen/General category (青年一般向け部門, Seinen ippan no muke bumon^?).

Special awards are also occasionally given out for outstanding work, lifetime achievement, and so forth.
