The Parliamentary Book Awards are the only book awards curated by bookshops and voted on by parliamentarians. Launched by the Booksellers Association and the Publishers Association in 2016, the awards aim to celebrate the best of political writing and the long-standing link between politics, books, and publishing.

The three categories are:
- Best Biography, Autobiography, or Memoir by a Parliamentarian
- Best Non-Fiction by a Parliamentarian
- Best Political Book by a non-Parliamentarian
