The Shanghai Magnolia Stage Performance Awards (), commonly known as the Magnolia Stage Awards, are presented by Shanghai Media Group, Shanghai Theater Arts Journal Publisher, Shanghai Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Shanghai Performing Company, and Shanghai Cultural Development Foundation each year. The awards recognize excellence in dramas, dance, musicals, and Chinese operas performed in the city of Shanghai, China.
Launched in 1989, the Magnolia Stage Awards ceremony has evolved into a major theatrical event in China. For most Chinese opera performers, the Magnolia Stage Award is as much coveted as the Plum Blossom Prize.
A few international artists have also won the award, including Nonso Anozie, Brad Little, Sakata Tōjūrō IV, and Arturo Brachetti.
