Kuningliku Seltsi teadusraamatu auhind

Kuningliku Seltsi teadusraamatu auhind (inglise keeles Royal Society Prizes for Science Books) on iga-aastane teadusauhind, mida annab välja Londoni Kuninglik Selts alates 1988. aastast (esialgse nimega Teadusraamatu auhind) väljapaistvate populaarteaduslike raamatute eest.

Konkursil saavad kandideerida viimase aasta jooksul inglise keeles avaldatud raamatud. Žürii valib võiduraamatu ja nn. lühikesse nimekirja (inglise keeles short list) kantud raamatud. Auhinnatseremoonial, mis peetakse septembris, saab laureaat 25 000-naelase ja lühinimekirja kantud raamat 2500-naelase auhinnaraha.
