The Goya Awards (Spanish: Premios Goya) are awards for artistic and technical merit in Spanish cinema. They are presented annually by the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain (AACCE) in recognition of excellence in cinematic achievements, as assessed by the Academy's voting membership. In addition to recognizing Spanish films each year, and the professionals who made them, the Academy also awards the competitive Best European Film and Best Ibero-American Film awards, and the non-competitive Honorary and International Goya awards.

The first Goya Awards ceremony was held in 1987, a year after the founding of the Academy, at the Teatro Lope de Vega in Madrid. They have since been also held in Barcelona, Seville, Málaga, Valencia, Valladolid, and Granada; and they have always been televised on Televisión Española.

The awards statuette is a small bronze bust of Francisco Goya created by the sculptor José Luis Fernández.
