The Theo Thijssen-prijs[a] (Dutch for Theo Thijssen Prize) is a Dutch literary award awarded once every three years to a Dutch author of children's literature or young adult fiction. The award is not given for a particular work, but for the entire oeuvre. The award is named after Dutch writer, teacher and socialist politician Theo Thijssen. The winner of the prize receives 60,000 and a small replica of a statue of Theo Thijssen by Hans Bayens.[1]

The Theo Thijssen-prijs is a continuation of the literary award Staatsprijs voor kinder-en jeugdliteratuur (Dutch for State prize for children's and youth literature) which was first awarded in 1964.[2][1] The award ceremony is held in the Dutch Museum of Literature in The Hague.[1] The award is awarded by the Stichting P.C. Hooft-prijs voor Letterkunde.
