The Emil Grunzweig Human Rights Award is an award made annually by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel to an individual or NGO that has made a unique contribution to the advancement of human rights in Israel. The award was established in 1981 but was renamed in 1983 after the murder of activist Emil Grunzweig by a grenade thrown by a right-wing sympathizer during a Peace Now demonstration against the war in Lebanon.
