The Premio Europeo Amalfi per la Sociologia e le Scienze Sociali (European Amalfi Prize for Sociology and Social Sciences ) is a prestigious Italian prize in the field of social sciences. Founded in 1987 at the instigation of the Section for Sociological Theories and Social Change of the Italian Society for Sociology, it is awarded annually in Amalfi to the author of a monograph that has appeared in print over the past two years and has made an important contribution to sociology.

The award ceremony takes place as part of an international sociological conference. The winners are selected by a Comitato Scientifico . (Most recently [2007]: Alessandro Cavalli, Gerardo Delanty, Salvador Giner, Michel Maffesoli , Carlo Mongardini (Chair), Hans Peter Müller, Birgitta Nedelmann, Richard Sennett , Piotr Sztompka and Michel Wieviorka . - Former members included Margaret Archer , Anthony Giddens , Karl-Siegbert Rehberg and Friedrich H. Tenbruck .)
