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.

American singer-songwriter, author and visual artist Bob Dylan has received many accolades throughout his long career as a songwriter and performing artist.

Fifty-five years later, in 2016, Dylan continued to release new recordings and was the first musician to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. Bob Dylan has also won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, given to him by the 44th president of the United States Barack Obama.
