El Premio Somerset Maugham es un premio literario británico entregado cada año en mayo por la Sociedad de Autores (Society of Authors). Es entregado al mejor escritor o a los mejores escritores menores de 35 años que hayan publicado un libro en el año anterior. El premio fue creado en 1947 por William Somerset Maugham, por lo que lleva su nombre. Los ganadores reciben £12.000, los cuales deben ser gastados viajando internacionalmente.
