A Medalha Telford () é o mais destacado prêmio da Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) por um artigo ou série de artigos. Foi instituída em 1835 por um legado de Thomas Telford, o primeiro presidente da ICE.
História Em 1834 morreu o engenheiro civil e primeiro presidente da Institution of Civil Engineers de 1820 a 1834, Thomas Telford, deixando em seu testamento sua biblioteca ao Institution of Civil Engineers, bem como um legado de £ 2000, destinado para ser usado com o propósito de prêmios anuais. O conselho do instituto decidiu aplicar os prêmios de forma honorária a monetária, sendo os prêmios honorários denominados "Medalhas Telford", nas formas de ouro, prata e bronze. Candidatos adequados para os prêmios foram autores de desenhos, modelos, diagramas ou ensaios relativos à engenharia civil ou qualquer novo equipamento de invenção relativa a engenharia pesquisa em geral, considerado o mais seminal e influente. Os prêmios deveriam ser abertos a ingleses e estrangeiros de forma igual. Após a provisão para a Medalha Telford, a renda restante é usada para até quatro prêmios anuais para trabalhos apresentados à Instituição.
O prêmio inaugural em ouro foi concedido em junho de 1837 a John Timperley por seu estudo sobre a história e construção do cais do Porto de Kingston upon Hull, publicado no volume 1 do "Transactions of the Institution of Civil Engineers". A medalha mostram uma imagem de Telford de um lado, tendo no outro lado uma ilustração de sua Ponte Suspensa Menai. John Benjamin Macneill, James Meadows Rendel, Michael A. Borthwick, Peter William Barlow e Benedetto Albano receberam medalhas de prata na mesma sessão.Sources:
