Duff Cooper Prize
Duff Cooper Prize är ett brittiskt litterärt pris som årligen tilldelas det bästa verket inom historia, biografi, statsvetenskap eller (väldigt sporadiskt) lyrik som givits ut på engelska eller franska.
Priset instiftades till minne av Duff Cooper, en brittisk diplomat och författare. Priset utdelades för första gången 1956 och gick då till Alan Moorehead för Gallipoli. För närvarande får pristagaren en förstautgåva av Duff Coopers självbiografi Old Men Forget och 5 000 brittiska pund.
