The Prix Femina is a French literary prize created in 1904 by 22 writers for the magazine La Vie heureuse (today known as Femina). The prize is decided each year by an exclusively female jury. They reward French-language works written in prose or verse, by both women and men. The winner is announced on the first Wednesday of November each year.

The prize was not awarded between 1914 and 1916, nor between 1940 and 1943. In 1944, it was given to Les Éditions de Minuit.
