The Jászai Mari Award is a state award, which was created by the Hungarian government in 1953 as an award for theatrical arts. The award was named in honour of the Hungarian actress Mari Jászai.

It originally ran, from 1955 to 1976, and was awarded in April. In 1992 the Hungarian Minister of National Cultural Heritage revived the award.
