Il Betty Trask Award è un premio letterario britannico assegnato annualmente dal sindacato di scrittori denominato Society of Authors.
Istituito nel 1983 su lascito della scrittrice di romanzi rosa Betty Trask, è destinato ad autori esordienti sotto i 35 anni residenti nel Commonwealth.
A partire dal 2009 un vincitore si aggiudica il premio principale (Betty Trask Prize) del valore di £10000 mentre gli altri autori premiati ricevono il Betty Trask Award di 5000 sterline.
