The Sunday Mail Young Scot Awards or Young Scot Awards is an annual award ceremony hosted by Young Scot and Sunday Mail to honour young people in Scotland for considerable achievements and positive contributions to charity or their community.

The first ceremony was held in 2006, and was hosted by Andrea McLean.[1] Between 2015 and 2017, the awards were hosted by Edith Bowman.[2][3] In 2018, the event was hosted by Iain Stirling at the SEC Armadillo in Glasgow. No event was held in 2019 and the 2020 event was hosted by Gemma Cairney online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Capital FM Scotland DJ Katy J will host the 2023 event at Platform in Glasgow.
