Bodil Award for Best Cinematographer

The Bodil Award for Best Cinematographer (Danish: Bodilpris for bedste fotograf) is one of the special awards at the annual Danish Bodil Awards presented by the Danish Film Critics Association.

Annelise Reenberg, Denmark's first female cinematographer, became the first recipient at the 2nd Bodil Awards in 1949 for shooting Kristinus Bergmann () (1948).

From 1950 to 2006 the award lay dormant, but 10 cinematographers received a Bodil Honorary Award in the years between 1953 and 1983, either for individual works or as lifetime achievement awards.

From 2000 to 2005 (barring 2003) an external, named prize without a Bodil statuette was awarded under three different names: Johan Ankerstjernes Fotografpris (Johan Ankerstjerne's Cinematographer Award) (2000-2002) named after Johan Ankerstjerne, Kodak og Nordisk Postproductions Fotografpris (Kodak and Nordic Postproduction's Cinematographer Award) in 2004, and Nordisk Film Lab og Kodaks Fotografpris (Nordisk Film Lab and Kodak Cinematographer Award) in 2005.

Since 2006 the Bodil Award for Best Cinematographer has been awarded annually as a special award with a Bodil statuette. As such the award was given for the first time at the 59th Bodil Awards in 2006 to Manuel Alberto Claro.
