Crime Writers of Canada Awards of Excellence, tidigare känt som Arthur Ellis Awards är en grupp av kanadensiska litteraturpriser, de delas årligen ut av Crime Writers of Canada för bästa kanadensiska böcker inom genren deckare och kriminallitteratur.
Priserna är uppkallade efter Arthur Ellis, pseudonymen för Kanadas officiella bödel. Prisstatyetten är en trämodell av en hängande man. Armar och ben rör sig när man drar i statyettens rep.
Kategorierna har varierat över åren och 2024 delades priset ut i åtta olika kategorier.
