The Kolmogorov Medal is a prize awarded to distinguished researchers with life-long contributions to one of the fields initiated by Andrey Kolmogorov.

The Kolmogorov Medal was first awarded in 2003 to celebrate 100 years since the birth of Kolmogorov. The recipient is invited to deliver a lecture at the Centre for Reliable Machine Learning of Royal Holloway, University of London. Early lectures were published in The Computer Journal.
