Pulitzerova nagrada za biografiju jedna je od sedam američkih Pulitzerovih nagrada koje se godišnje dodjeljuju za književnost, dramu i muziku. Nagrada odaje priznanje "uglednoj i prikladno dokumentovanoj biografiji američkog autora." Nagrada je u novčanom iznosu od 15.000 USD.

Od 1917. do 2022. ova nagrada je bila poznata kao Pulitzerova nagrada za biografiju ili autobiografiju i dodjeljivala se istaknutoj biografiji, autobiografiji ili memoarima američkog autora ili koautora, objavljenih tokom prethodne kalendarske godine.
