Note Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

David Bowie (1947–2016) was an English musician and actor. Throughout his career, he won 71 awards from a total of 186 nominations.

He began his singing career under the name David Bowie in 1966 and won his first award in 1969, when he won an Ivor Novello Award for the song "Space Oddity". Bowie's first hit album was Hunky Dory in 1971 which reached number three in the UK Albums Chart. Despite his next eleven studio albums all making the UK Top 10—including four number one albums—he did not receive any more music awards or nominations until the early 1980s. He has since won numerous awards for his music, including: four BRIT Awards—Best British Male Solo Artist at the 1984 and 2014 BRIT Awards, an Outstanding Contribution Award at the 1996 BRIT Awards and an Icon Award at the 2016 Brit Awards which was awarded to him posthumously; six Grammy Awards including Best Video, Short Form for the David Bowie video at the 1985 Grammy Awards and a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2006 Grammy Awards; and four MTV Video Music Awards—Best Male Video for "China Girl" and a Video Vanguard Award at the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards, Best Overall Performance in a Video for "Dancing in the Street" at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards, and Best Art Direction for "Blackstar" at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.

Bowie began his acting career in the 1967 short film The Image. His first leading role was in the 1976 science fiction film The Man Who Fell to Earth, a role for which he won a Saturn Award for Best Actor at the 1976 Saturn Awards. He has also had an innovative presence on the Internet which led to his being awarded a lifetime achievement Webby Award in 2007 for "pushing the boundaries of art and technology with his digital empire".
