诺贝尔化学奖 (瑞典语:Nobelpriset i kemi)是诺贝尔奖的六个奖项之一,1895年设立,由瑞典皇家科学院每年颁发给在化学相关的各个领域中做出杰出贡献的科学家。根据奖项设立者阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔的遗愿,该奖由诺贝尔基金会管理,瑞典皇家科学院每年选出五人委员会来评选出当年获奖者。第一个诺贝尔化学奖于1901年颁发给荷兰科学家雅各布斯·亨里克斯·范托夫。每一位获奖者都会得到一块奖牌,一份获奖证书,以及一笔不菲的奖金,奖金的数额每年会有变化。例如,1901年,范托夫得到的奖金为150,782瑞典克朗,相当于2007年12月的7,731,004瑞典克朗;而2008年,下村脩、马丁·查尔菲和钱永健分享了总数为一千万瑞典克朗的奖金(略多于100万欧元,或140万美元)。该奖每年于12月10日,即阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔逝世周年纪念日,以隆重的仪式在斯德哥尔摩颁发。
就获奖领域而言,有至少25名获奖者在有机化学研究中做出贡献,比其他化学领域的获奖者都多。有两位诺贝尔化学奖获奖者,德国的里夏德·库恩(1938年获奖)和阿道夫·布特南特(1939年获奖),受其政府阻止不能接受奖金。他们虽然后来收到了奖牌和获奖证书,但没有收到奖金。弗雷德里克·桑格是至今唯一一位两次(1958年和1980年)获得诺贝尔化学奖的科学家。其他两次获得诺贝尔奖的玛丽·居里(1903年获物理学奖,1911年获化学奖)和莱纳斯·鲍林(1954年获化学奖,1962年获和平奖)都是在不同领域获奖。有五位女性获得过化学奖:玛丽·居里、伊雷娜·约里奥-居里(1935年获奖)、多萝西·克劳福特·霍奇金(1964年获奖)、阿达·约纳特(2009年获奖)和弗朗西斯·阿诺德(2018年获奖)。截至2019年,已经有183人获得诺贝尔化学奖。从1901年至今,该奖有8年因故停发(1916、1917、1919、1924、1933、1940-1942年),有9年延迟一年颁发(1914、1918、1920、1921、1925、1927、1938、1943、1944年)。
