PULITZERJEVA NAGRADA ZA KNJIŽEVNOST (Pulitzer Prize) Je prestižna ameriška nagrada, ki jo za leposlovje podeljujejo od leta 1948. Joseph Pulitzer, strastni časopisni založnik, vizionar in novinar je v svoji oporoki iz leta 1904 predlagal ustanovitev nagrad kot spodbudo za odličnost. Je prvi, ki je pozval k usposabljanju novinarjev na univerzitetni ravni. Nagrade podeljujejo iz področja novinarstva, literature in skladateljstva.

Nagrajene knjige, ki jih imamo v naši knjižnični zbirki, so označene debelejše:
