The Boekensleutel is a Dutch literary award infrequently awarded by the Dutch organisation Collectieve Propaganda van het Nederlandse Boek. The Boekensleutel is awarded to books that stand out due to their genre, techniques used or for reasons that are not traditionally covered by other literary awards. Books that are translated into Dutch are also eligible for the award.
