The National Architecture Award of Spain (Spanish: Premio Nacional de Arquitectura de España) is an honor granted annually by the Government of Spain. It was first given in 1932, had a hiatus during the Civil War, and resumed in 1944, although it is not convened every year.

At its establishment it was awarded to a particular work, but since 2001 it has been awarded to an architect for the whole of their work.[1] In 2004, the National Architecture Award was "recreated", the National Urban Planning Award [es] was restored and, in addition, the National Award for Housing Quality [es] was created, which recognized a specific building, but only those dedicated to housing.[2] The latter has simply been called the National Housing Award since 2009.[3]

In 2013, the National Architecture Award was once again combined into a single prize. The winner is selected by a jury (which nominates a candidate or declares the award will not be given), and the award is granted by order of the Minister of Development.[4]
