The Giles Cooper Awards were honors given to plays written for radio. Sponsored by the BBC and Methuen Drama, these prizes were specifically focused on the best radio drama produced in the past year. Winners are chosen from hundreds of entries, and published in a series of books. They were named in honor of Giles Cooper, the pioneering radio dramatist and director who died in 1966.

These awards were granted between 1978 and 1991, after which the program was discontinued.
