The Walkley Award for Journalism Leadership is an Australian award that recognises outstanding acts of courage and bravery in the practice of journalism, in the prestigious Walkley Awards series.[1] The inaugural award, for Excellence in News Leadership, was made in 1997.

In 2017 the Walkley Foundation announced that due to a reorganisation of categories, the Journalism Leadership award would no longer be given out.[2]
