The British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel, also known as the Robert Holdstock Award, is a literary award given annually as part of the British Fantasy Awards. The award is named after British author Robert Holdstock. The British Fantasy Society originally awarded only one Best Novel award annually. After the awards were reorganized in 2012, the best novel category was divided into fantasy and horror categories.
