The Villa Romana Prize, German: Villa-Romana-Preis, is: an art prize awarded by the Deutscher Künstlerbund. It was established in 1905. And is the "oldest German art award." The prize consists of a one-year artistic residence in the Villa Romana, a nineteenth-century villa on the Via Senese in the southern outskirts of Florence, in Tuscany in central Italy.

Max Klinger, who in 1903 had become vice-president of the Deutscher Künstlerbund, "established the Villa Romana as a study centre for artists in 1905." He had bought it that year for 60,000 gold lire. The prize was first awarded in that year also.

Among the many recipients of the award are Max Beckmann (1906), Ernst Barlach (1909), Joseph Fassbender (1929), Gerhard Marcks, Toni Stadler [de] (1937), Walter Stöhrer (1978), and Georg Baselitz (1965).
