El premio Pulitzer de Biografía es uno de los siete Premios Pulitzer estadounidenses que se otorgan anualmente a las Artes, el Teatro y la Música. Ha sido otorgado desde 1917 para distinguir una biografía, autobiografía o memorias de un autor o autores estadounidenses, publicada durante el año anterior. Es, por tanto, uno de los Pulitzers originales, pues el programa se inauguró en 1917 con siete premios, cuatro de los cuales fueron otorgados ese año.
