Kraumur Awards is a music prize, organized by the Kraumur Music Fund, awarded for the best albums being released in Iceland.

The nominations for the first Kraumur Awards were announced in November 2008. Nominations and the award winning albums are chosen by a selected panel of Icelandic music journalist and radio show hosts, with years of experience in playing and writing about Icelandic music.

The Kraumur Award goes to five albums, while 20 albums are nominated. The panel can add albums to the award category, which led to six albums receiving the awards in 2008 and has become a norm since then.

The plan of the organizers is to make the Kraumur Awards an annual event.
