The Cultural Honor Prize of the City of Munich () is a cultural award presented annually by the City of Munich since 1958. The award is endowed with 10,000 euros. The prize is given to "a personality of international renown for their cultural or scientific achievements. A close connection to Munich is also essential." The jury consists of the mayor, the head of the Cultural Affairs Department, the previous year's prizewinner if applicable, five members of the city council, and five independent expert jurors.
