The Raindance Maverick Award is an award created by independent film festival Raindance Film Festival and presented during the British Independent Film Awards, to "highlight innovation, uniqueness of vision, maverick filmmaking and risk-taking generally in fiction films with a budget under £1m, rewarding bold, creative, ambitious work that belies its limited budget". The award goes to the film's director, producers, and screenwriters.

It was first presented in 2004. The Barn, directed by Ruaridh Webster, was the first recipient of the award. Since its inception, it has been presented under different names. From 2003 to 2014, the award was presented as The Raindance Award. The following name it was renamed into The Discovery Award, remaining under said name until 2019. Later, from 2020 to 2022, the names were merged into The Raindance Discovery Award, being changed into its current name in 2023.
