The P3 Gold Awards (Swedish: P3 Guld) are annual music awards recognising contributions to Swedish popular music, presented by Sveriges Radio's P3 channel. First presented in 2003 in Växjö, nominees are selected by a jury and winners are determined by a public vote. Subsequent ceremonies have been held in Gothenburg for the most part, though Partille and Stockholm have also hosted a handful of times.
The ceremony is generally held in January and aims to showcase performances from current Swedish artists. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden, there was no ceremony held in 2022.
As of the 2024 ceremony, there are eight award categories. All categories have five nominees, with the exception of Artist of the Future, which has eight nominees, and the P3 Icon award, whose recipient is selected by the year's jury.
