The Gumshoe Awards were an American award for popular crime fiction literary works. The Gumshoe Awards were awarded annually by the American Internet magazine Mystery Ink (not to be confused with Mystery Inc.) to recognize the best achievements in crime fiction. The nominated books were chosen from those published for the first time in the United States in English (or English translation). They were awarded in several categories:
- Best Mystery
- Best Thriller
- Best First Novel
- Best Crime Fiction Website
- Lifetime Achievement Award
In 2005 a new award category was introduced: Best European Crime Novel.
