The Avicenna Prize for Ethics in Science is awarded every two years by UNESCO and rewards individuals and groups in the field of ethics in science.

The aim of the award is to promote ethical reflection on issues raised by advances in science and technology, and to raise global awareness of the importance of ethics in science. The prize was named after the 11th century Persian physician and philosopher Avicenna (980-1038).{{Cite web|url=https://www.msrt.ir/en/news/46/avicenna-prize-for-ethics-in-science|title=Avicenna Prize for Ethics in Science - Ministry of Science Research and Technology|website=Ministry of Science Research and Technology|language=en|access-date=2017-10-21}}
