Prêmio Gordon J. Laing

O Prêmio Gordon J. Laing (em inglês: Gordon J. Laing Award) é concedido anualmente pelo Conselho de Publicações Universitárias da Universidade de Chicago (UChicago), para o autor, editor ou tradutor do corpo docente da UChicago cujo livro trouxe a maior distinção à lista da University of Chicago Press. O primeiro prêmio foi concedido em 1963 e o 56º e mais recente prêmio foi dado em 25 de abril de 2019 a Deborah Nelson.

O prêmio é denominado em memória de Gordon Jennings Laing, o professor que, atuando como editor geral da University of Chicago Press de 1909 até 1940, estabeleceu firmemente o caráter e a reputação da editora como principal editora acadêmica nos Estados Unidos.

O prêmio é concedido a cada primavera em uma cerimônia no Quadrangle Club (University of Chicago).
