The National Book Award for Translated Literature is one of five annual National Book Awards recognising outstanding literary works of translation into English administered by the National Book Foundation. This award was previously given from 1967-1983 but did not require the author to be living and was for fiction only. It was reintroduced in its new version in and was open to living translators and authors, for both fiction and non-fiction.

The award recognises one book published by a U.S. publisher located in the United States from December 1 to November 30. The original text need not have been published in the year of the award submission, only the translated work. For the Translated Literature award neither author nor translator are required to be U.S. citizens.

Entries for the National Book Awards are open from March until May. A longlist is announced in September with the shortlist announced in October. The winner is announced in a ceremony in November. The prizes are split equally between the author and the translator.
