The '''Nommo Awards''' are literary awards presented by ''The African Speculative Fiction Society.'' 
The awards recognize works of [[speculative fiction]] by Africans, defined as "science fiction, fantasy, stories of magic and traditional belief, alternative histories, horror and strange stuff that might not fit in anywhere else."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tor.com/2019/10/25/announcing-the-2019-nommo-award-winners/|title = Announcing the 2019 Nommo Awards Winners|date = 25 October 2019}}</ref> 

The Nommo Awards have four categories: Best Novel, Novella, Short Story, and Graphic Novel. They are named after the [[Nommo]], ancestral spirits from Dogon cosmology who take a variety of forms, including appearing on land as fish, walking on their tails.

The word Nommos is derived from a Dogon word meaning "to make one drink." The Nommos are usually described as amphibious, hermaphroditic, fish-like creatures. Folk art depictions of the Nommos show creatures with humanoid upper torsos, legs/feet, and a fish-like lower torso and tail. The Nommos are also referred to as “Masters of the Water”, “the Monitors”, and "the Teachers”. Nommo can be a proper name of an individual, or can refer to the group of spirits as a whole. For purposes of this article “Nommo” refers to a specific individual and “Nommos” is used to reference the group of beings."</blockquote>
