Pulitzerpriset för skönlitteratur är en av kategorierna i det amerikanska Pulitzerpriset (som delas ut i 21 olika kategorier). Pulitzern instiftades 1917 till minne av journalisten och tidningsmannen Joseph Pulitzer och delas ut årligen.
Pulitzern för skönlitteratur har delats ut sedan 1948, men redan från starten fanns skönlitteraturen representerad genom Pulitzer Prize for the Novel (Pulitzerpriset för en roman). Romanerna ska vara skrivna av amerikanska författare och ska företrädesvis beskriva amerikanskt liv.
