The Gottfried Noether awards of the American Statistical Association are conferred annually. They honor the memory of Gottfried E. Noether, an early researcher in Nonparametric statistics. They originate from an endowment donated by Noether's wife and daughter, Emiliana and Monica Noether, with the mission to recognize eminent scholars in the field of nonparametric statistics.

There are two Noether awards each year. The Noether Distinguished Scholar Award goes to a senior researcher, whereas the Noether Early Career Scholar award is for an accomplished young researcher who obtained their PhD at most 8 years before. Both awards are handed out at the Joint Statistical Meetings each year, and come with a cash award of $5,000 for the senior version and $2,500 for the junior one. The awardees then present an invited lecture about their work.
