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.

This article is a List of awards and nominations received by Rita Moreno.

Rita Moreno is a Puerto Rican actress, singer, and dancer. With a career spanning nearly 80 years in the entertainment industry, Moreno is one of a few individuals to have won the four major annual American entertainment awards: an EGOT (an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony). ^{[1] [2]} She also received a Golden Globe Award, and Peabody Award as well as nominations for a British Academy Film Award.

Moreno won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her iconic performance as Anita in the musical film West Side Story (1961). She also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture. For work on television, she won two Primetime Emmy Awards for her guest roles on The Muppets (1977), and The Rockford Files (1978). For playing Googie Gomez in the Broadway play The Ritz she won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play. She reprised the role in the 1976 film adaptation for which she was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. She won the Grammy Award for Best Children's Music Album for The Electric Company (1973).

She is also one of the few performers who have achieved the "Triple Crown of Acting", with individual competitive Academy, Emmy, and Tony awards for acting; she, Helen Hayes, and Viola Davis are the only three who have achieved both distinctions in their lifetimes. She has won numerous honors including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1995, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2004, the National Medal of Arts in 2009, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 2013, the Kennedy Center Honors in 2015, and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor in 2018.
