Duff Cooper Prize er en britisk litterær pris som hvert år tildeles det beste verket innen historie, biografi, statsvitenskap eller (veldig sporadisk) lyrikk som er blitt gitt ut på engelsk eller fransk. Prisen ble innstiftet til minne om Duff Cooper, en britisk diplomat og forfatter. Prisen ble delt ut for første gang i 1956 og gikk da til Alan Moorehead for Gallipoli. Nå får prisvinneren en førsteutgave av Duff Coopers selvbiografi Old Men Forget og 5 000 britiske pund.

Fra 2013 er prisen benevnt under navnet The Pol Roger Duff Cooper Prize etter å ha blitt sponset av Pol Roger.[1]
