Der '''Macavity Award''' ist ein amerikanischer [[Literaturpreis]] für [[Kriminalroman|Kriminalliteratur]]. Vergeben wird er von den ''Mystery Readers International'' (MRI), einer in den USA ansässigen offenen Vereinigung von Krimifans und -lesern weltweit. Ausgezeichnet werden seit 1987 alljährlich Werke in vier, seit 2006 in fünf Kategorien. Die Wahl der Preisträger erfolgt durch die Mitglieder der ''Mystery Readers International''.

Die Verleihung findet jedes Jahr im Herbst auf dem größten Krimifestival der USA, dem ''[[Bouchercon]]'', statt. Benannt ist der Preis nach einer Figur aus der humorvollen Gedichtsammlung ''Old Possum's Book for Practical Cats'' von [[T. S. Eliot]], das auch Vorlage für das Musical [[Cats]] gewesen war. ''Macavity'' ist der Name der „Gangsterkatze“, die sich immer wieder der Verfolgung durch [[Scotland Yard]] entzieht.
