Beveridge Family Prize in American History

Der Beveridge Family Prize in American History (früher Albert J. Beveridge Award) ist ein von der American Historical Association (AHA) vergebener Wissenschaftspreis.

Er wurde 1939 im Angedenken an Albert J. Beveridge, Senator der Vereinigten Staaten für Indiana und langjähriges Mitglied der AHA, gestiftet. Bis 1945 wurde er noch zweijährlich, seither jährlich verliehen. Ausgezeichnet werden mit dem Preis Werke der Geschichtswissenschaft, die sich mit der Geschichte des amerikanischen Doppelkontinents seit seiner „Entdeckung“ 1492 beschäftigen.
