Gli Eisner Award sono premi conferiti per meriti artistici nel campo dei fumetti, tra i più prestigiosi riconoscimenti statunitensi e paragonabili agli Oscar. Sono dedicati a Will Eisner, in onore del suo grande contributo nel campo; Eisner ha presenziato personalmente alla cerimonia fino alla sua morte, avvenuta nel 2005. Il premio è stato istituito per sopperire alla fine dei Kirby Awards del 1987. Ogni premio è assegnato a uno dei cinque candidati, votati da professionisti e presentati durante la convention tenuta a San Diego. Gli Eisner Award non sono stati assegnati nel 1990.
Nel 2020 i vincitori del premio sono stati annunciati online, tramite video pre-registrato, siccome, a causa dell'emergenza COVID-19, il San Diego Comic-Con non si è tenuto.
