The Honorary Magritte Award (French: Magritte d'honneur) is presented annually by the board of the Académie André Delvaux as part of the Magritte Awards. It honors individuals for their exceptional career achievements, significant contributions to the film industry, and outstanding service to Belgian and international cinema.

Unlike the other Magritte Awards, which are determined by a secret vote of the academy's members, the recipient of the Honorary Magritte Award is chosen directly by the academy's board. It is not subject to the eligibility requirements or deadlines that apply to other categories and recognizes accomplishments in cinema that do not fit within the existing award categories.
