The Marcello Mastroianni Award (Italian: Premio Marcello Mastroianni) is one of the awards given out at the Venice International Film Festival.

It was established in 1998 in honor of the Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni, who died at the end of 1996. The award was created to recognize an emerging actor or actress. Since then, several future high profile worldwide actors were awarded: Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, Hafsia Herzi, Jennifer Lawrence, Jasmine Trinca, Mila Kunis, Tye Sheridan, Paula Beer and Taylor Russell.

Niccolò Senni was the first winner for Shooting the Moon in 1998.
