Die Olive Schreiner-prys is 'n literêre prys wat jaarliks deur die English Academy of Southern Africa aan nuwe skrywerstalente uit Suider-Afrika toegeken word.[1] Die prys is vernoem na die Suid-Afrikaanse skryfster Olive Schreiner. Die prys is tussen 1961 en 1970 deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns toegeken waartydens dit as die Olive Schrinerprys vir Engelse Letterkunde bekend gestaan het. Dit is toegeken vir 'n oorspronklike bellettristiese werk in Engels deur ’n Suid-Afrikaner of Rhodesiër gelewer en in Suid-Afrika of Rhodesië uitgegee. Die prys is in 1972 aan die English Academy of South Africa oorgedra en staan sedertdien bekend as die Olive Schreiner-prys. Die prysgeld is deur Shell (SA) geskenk.
