El Premio Samuel Johnson o Premio de ensayo Samuel Johnson de la BBC (Samuel Johnson Prize o BBC Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction), es uno de los más prestigiosos[1]​ premios para libros de no-ficción.

Fue creado en 1999 siguiendo el modelo del NCR Book Award, que había desaparecido un año antes, y basándose en donaciones anónimas. El premio recibe el nombre del ensayista inglés Samuel Johnson y está dirigido a libros sobre historia, política, ciencia, viajes, deportes, viajes, biografías, autobiografías y artes.[2]​ Los autores pueden ser de cualquier nacionalidad, pero el libro debe haber sido publicado en el Reino Unido en inglés.[3]​

Hasta 2008 se denominaba Premio Samuel Johnson de la BBC Cuatro, dado que estaba organizado por el canal televisivo BBC Four. En 2009 fue renombrado como Premio Samuel Johnson de la BBC para libros de no-ficción,[4]​ y pasó a ser organizado por BBC Two. El nuevo nombre respondía al deseo de la BBC de cubrir mediáticamente el premio a través del programa The Culture Show de la BBC Two.[4]​

Antes del cambio de nombre el premio era de £30.000 para el ganador y £2500 para los finalistas. En 2009 el premio bajó hasta £20.000 para el ganador y hasta £1000 para los finalistas.[4]​
