The Andrei Sakharov Prize is a prize that is to be awarded every second year by the American Physical Society since 2006.

The prize is named after Andrei Sakharov (1921-1989), Soviet nuclear physicist, dissident and human rights activist; since 2007 it has been valued at $10,000. The first Sakharov Prize was awarded to physicist and former Soviet gulag prisoner Yuri Orlov.
