Els Premis Rhysling són un premi anual atorgat al millor poema de ciència-ficció, fantasia o terror de l'any. A diferència de la majoria dels premis literaris, que porten el nom del creador del premi, el tema del premi, o un membre destacat del camp, els Rhyslings porten el nom d'un personatge en una història de ciència-ficció: el poeta cec Rhysling, a la història curta de Robert A. Heinlein The Green Hills of Earth.David Langford, "Rhysling Award." Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, 3rd edition (online). Ed. John Clute, David Langford, and Peter Nicholls. 2013. Accessed 19 febrer 2013 El premi es lliura en dues categories: "Millor poema llarg", per a obres de 50 o més línies, i "Millor poema curt", per a obres de 49 o menys línies.
Els nominats als premis Rhysling de cada any són elegits pels membres de la Science Fiction Poetry Association (SFPA). Cada membre pot nomenar un treball per a cadascuna de les categories. Les obres designades es compilen després en una antologia anomenada The Rhysling Anthology, i els membres de l'Associació voten sobre els guanyadors finals. Des del 2005, els premis s'han presentat al juliol en una cerimònia a Readercon. Mentre que la categoria "Millor poema curt" permet introduir poemes molt curts, l'SFPA també té el premi Dwarf Stars, que és per a poemes d'una a deu línies.The Science Fiction Poetry Association: Dwarf Stars
El 2005, l'SFPA va publicar una antologia dels poemes guanyadors, The Alchemy of Stars: Rhysling Award Winners Showcase.Elizabeth Barrette, Review: The Alchemy of Stars: Rhysling Award Winners Showcase, edited by Roger Dutcher and Mike Allen, Strange Horizons, 8 febrer 2006 (consultat el 16 Sept. 2016)
