The Western Heritage Award, also known as The Bronze Wrangler, is an award presented annually by the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum to honor the top works in music, film, television, and literature that put forward a vision of the American West.

The Western Heritage Awards were first presented in 1961. Many works are in the Western genre. The Wrangler is a bronze sculpture of a cattle wrangler on horseback, and is designed by artist John Free.

The awards program also recognizes inductees into the prestigious Hall of Great Westerners and the Hall of Great Western Performers as well as the recipient of the Chester A. Reynolds Memorial Award, named in honor of the Museum's founder.
