The Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, named after the SF author, is a companion award to the John W. Campbell, Jr. Memorial Award.

It was created in 1987 by the James Gunn and by the children of Theodore Sturgeon at the Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas to honor the best English-language SF short story under 17,500 words published during the previous calendar year. It has usually been awarded at the Gunn Center's June Campbell Conference each year. In 2022, it was presented at the center’s First Annual Sturgeon Symposium (September 29–30).
