  1. Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize 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 is a list of awards and nominations received by Def Leppard. The English rock band Def Leppard formed in 1977 as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement.
