The Prometheus Hall of Fame Award, created in 1982, is a retrospective counterpart to the Prometheus Award. Both awards were created by the Libertarian Futurist Society (LFS) to promote show more "pro-freedom" fiction.

The Hall of Fame Award is open to any work of fiction over five years old and chosen by the entire membership of LFS. The awards were given to two works annually from 1983 to 1987, and to one work thereafter.
