The Colonel C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award is an award presented by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to individuals who provided unparalleled contribution to Indian cricket. It is the highest honour bestowed by BCCI on a former player and is considered as one of the most prestigious awards in cricket. The award includes a trophy, citation, and cash prize of ₹25 lakh.
The award is named after Colonel C. K. Nayudu (1895–1967), India's first Test cricket captain widely regarded as 'India's first cricket superstar' with a first-class career spanning over 47 years from 1916 to 1963 — a world record.
Nayudu's teammate and India's first test centurion, Lala Amarnath was the first recipient of the award in 1994. K. N. Prabhu is the only sports journalist to have won the award. Rajinder Goel, Padmakar Shivalkar, and B. B. Nimbalkar are the only non-Test cricketers to have been honoured. Lala Amarnath and Mohinder Amarnath are the only father-son duo to have received the honour. Sachin Tendulkar is the most recent recipient of the award.
