The Blue Dragon Film Awards (Hangul: 청룡영화상) is an annual awards ceremony that is presented by Sports Chosun (a sister brand of Chosun Ilbo) for excellence in film in South Korea.

The Blue Dragon Film Awards considers only blockbusters and popular movies of high artistic value released during the previous year. During the selection process, about forty movies that have made it to the final list are screened to the public for free. After the screening of each selection, the awards ceremony opens.

The Blue Dragon Awards and the Grand Bell Awards are the two most popular film awards in Korea.

It was created in 1963 by The Chosun Ilbo newspaper and discontinued in 1973. Sports Chosun, a Korean sports daily also owned by The Chosun Ilbo, resurrected the ceremony in 1990 and it has been held annually since then.
