The Student Radio Awards is a UK awards scheme celebrating talent within the UK student radio industry, held by the Student Radio Association. The awards are currently in their eleventh year, and are supported by BBC Radio 1.

Many past winners of Student Radio Awards have gone on to become big names within the UK radio industry, most notably of late is Greg James (DJ), (Winner Best Male 2005), who now works at Radio 1, and Philippa TJ, who now works at 6 Music.

The awards themselves are announced in an awards ceremony typically taking place in London in November. The awards are run by the Student Radio Association, in collaboration with various third parties, mainly by Radio 1.
