The Alba Bouwer Prize (Afrikaans: [Alba Bouwerprys vir Kinderliteratuur] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) is a prize for outstanding children's literature in Afrikaans, awarded triennially by the South African Academy of Science and Arts. Works qualifying for the prize should have been published within the preceding three years, and be intended for under-12s.
