The Harold Morton Landon Translation Award is a U.S. literary award given by the Academy of American Poets to recognize a published translation of poetry from any language into English. The award was first given in 1976 to Robert Fitzgerald and was awarded biannually until 1987, when it began to be awarded annually.
To be eligible for the award, the work must be published in the U.S. during the previous year in a "standard edition" of 40 pages or more with a run of 500 or more copies. The work must consist primarily of poetry, and translators must be living citizens of the United States to be eligible. Works by two translators are accepted, but poetry anthologies in which other translators' work is included are not.
Award winners receive a US$1,000 award. A notable translator chooses the winner.
