Nacionalna medalja znanosti (angleško National Medal of Science) je ameriško priznanje, ki ga podeljuje predsednik Združenih držav Amerike posameznikom, ki so bistveno prispevali k fiziki, biologiji, matematiki, inženirstvu, družboslovju ali vedenjskim znanostim. Nagrajence izbira dvanajstčlanski odbor Nacionalne znanstvene fundacije (NSF).

Prvo nacionalno medaljo znanosti je leta 1963 podelil John F. Kennedy, prejel jo je Theodore von Kármán za svoje delo v aeronavtiki. Do leta 2009 je nagrado prejelo 458 znanstvenikov in inženirjev, med njimi 88 prejemnikov Nobelove nagrade.
