Note Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Throughout his career, American rapper and songwriter Kendrick Lamar has received several awards, nominations, and cultural honors. He signed to Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) in 2005 and released his debut studio album, Section.80 , in 2011. At the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards, the album received a nomination for Best Mixtape. Lamar's second album, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (2012), earned him seven nominations at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, including for Album of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Rap Album. His third studio album, To Pimp a Butterfly (2015), was preceded by the Grammy Award for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance-winning single "I". For his work on the album and additional collaborations from that year, Lamar received the most Grammy Award nominations by a rapper in a single night, with 11. ^{[1] [2]}

At the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, To Pimp a Butterfly was awarded Best Rap Album, while tracks from the album won Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. Lamar was declared a generational icon by the California State Senate for his music and philanthropic contributions, and was given the key to his hometown of Compton. ^{[3] [4]} His fourth studio album, Damn (2017), went on to win five awards at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, including Best Rap Album. The album became the first musical composition outside of the classical and jazz genres to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music. ^[5] For his work on the soundtrack album for the superhero film Black Panther (2018), which he curated and executive produced, Lamar won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance and was nominated for the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Song. He won another Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance in 2022 for the single "Family Ties" with Baby Keem, and won three Grammy Awards in 2023 for his fifth studio album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers (2022).

Lamar is the most awarded artist in BET Hip Hop Awards history, with 37 wins. He has won eleven MTV Video Music Awards, including Video of the Year for "Bad Blood" with Taylor Swift and "Humble". With the latter video, he became the first artist to win Video of the Year for a music video he co-directed. As a headliner of the Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show, Lamar won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special (Live).
