Mercury Prize (Mercury Music Prize) – corocznie przyznawana nagroda dla najlepszego albumu muzycznego w Wielkiej Brytanii i Irlandii. Po raz pierwszy przyznana w 1992 roku.

Nagroda została ustanowiona przez British Phonographic Industry (BPI) oraz British Association of Record Dealers (BARD) w 1992 jako alternatywa dla bardziej komercyjnych Brit Awards^[1].

[edytuj] Sponsoring

Początkowo Mercury Prize była sponsorowana przez firmę Mercury Communications (były krajowy operator telekomunikacyjny w Wielkiej Brytanii, spółka zależna Cable & Wireless)^[2], od której nagroda wzięła swoją nazwę. Później sponsoring przejmowały kolejno marki: Technics^[3] (1998-2001), Panasonic^[2] (2002-2003) oraz Nationwide Building Society (2004-2008). Od marca 2009 sponsorem Mercury Prize jest firma Barclaycard (jeden z największych dystrybutorów i operatorów kart kredytowych w Wielkiej Brytanii)^[4].
