Thaliapriset (Svenska Dagbladets Thaliapris) is regarded to be one of Sweden's finest theatre awards (together with the Eugene O'Neill Award and The Gunn Wållgren Award) and is given annually to an actor, director or a theatre personality of the stage. The annual scholarship was established in December 1951 by the daily Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet. Throughout the years, some of the leading Swedish stage performers have received the award.
