O Prêmio Dickson de Ciências () foi instituído em 1969 por Joseph Z. Dickson e Agnes Fischer Dickson. Diversos de seus laureados também foram agraciados com o Prêmio Nobel. É concedido anualmente pela Universidade Carnegie Mellon, em reconhecimento àqueles que "avançaram de forma notável o campo das ciências".
