The Locus Award for Best Artist is one of the annual Locus Awards presented by the science fiction and fantasy magazine Locus. Awards presented in a given year are for works published in the previous calendar year. There were art awards included from the start of the Locus Awards, both for Fan and Professional artists, but the current award did not stabilise until 1974, then as Best Professional Artist.
The Locus Awards have been described as a prestigious prize in science fiction, fantasy and horror literature.
