The Verleihung der Goldenen Kamera (en: Presentation of the Golden Camera) or simply Goldene Kamera, is an annual German television award, awarded by the television magazine HÖRZU. The actual name of the award is Lilli-Palmer-und-Curd-Jürgens-Gedächtniskamera (en: Lilli-Palmer and Curd Jürgens Memorial Camera). It involves a prize money of 20,000 euro. The gold-plated silver award model was created by Berlin artist Wolfram Beck. It is 25 centimeters (approximately 10 inches) high and weighs around 600 grams.

The award was first presented in 1965 as a strictly German television award. Since 1987, it has also been awarded to international stars. And in 1995 the categories expanded to more public interests, such as pop groups and organizations, for example Greenpeace.

The award show is usually held in early February in Berlin, but has also taken place in Hamburg 5 times, and once in Dortmund.
