The Marian Engel Award was a Canadian literary award, presented each year from 1986 to 2007 by the Writers' Trust of Canada in memory of the writer Marian Engel. The award was presented to a female Canadian novelist in mid-career for her entire body of work, and accompanied a cash purse of CA$10,000.
