El Premio de Historia Wolfson se otorga anualmente en el Reino Unido desde 1972. Fue establecido en gran medida por la iniciativa de Leonard Wolfson, respaldado por los síndicos de la Fundación Wolfson y otros asesores, entre ellos Isaiah Berlin y George Weidenfeld.
A continuación se enumeran los ganadores del Premio de Historia Wolfson. Hasta 1987 se entregaron los premios al final del año del concurso; desde entonces, han sido concedidos al año siguiente.
