The Toronto Book Awards are Canadian literary awards, presented annually by the City of Toronto government to the author of the year's best fiction or non-fiction book or books "that are evocative of Toronto".[1] The award is presented in the fall of each year, with its advance promotional efforts including a series of readings by the nominated authors at each year's The Word on the Street festival.

Each author shortlisted for the award receives $2,000, and the winner or winners receive the balance of $20,000.

The award has frequently gone to multiple winners. 1987 was the first time in the history of the award that only a single winner was named.
