The Bogoliubov Prize for young scientists is an award offerred to young researchers in theoretical physics by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, an international intergovernmental organization located in Russia. The award is issues in memory of the physicist and mathematician Nikolay Bogoliubov.

The prize is awarded to young (up to 33-year-old) researchers for "outstanding contributions in fields of theoretical physics related to Bogoliubov's scientific interests". The awardee is one who has demonstrated "early scientific maturity" and whose results are recognized worldwide and peer-reviewed. The laureates generally emulate Bogoliubov's own skill in using sophisticated mathematics to attempt to solve concrete physical problems (mostly in the fields of nonlinear dynamics, statistical physics, quantum field theory and elementary particle physics).

In 2006, the prize was awarded to Aurelien Barrau from the Laboratory for Subatomic Physics and Cosmology, and Joseph Fourier University, Grenoble, France for a sequel of papers on astrophysics and cosmology.
