Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd has received several awards and nominations throughout his carreer. He first rose to proemincence in 2011 with the release of his debut mixtape House of Balloons, which was met with widespread critical acclaim and was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize. The next year, following the release of other two equally acclaimed mixtapes, Thursday and Echoes of Silence, he signed a record deal for a joint venture with Universal Music Group-led Republic Records and released the compilation Trilogy, which earned him his first two Juno Awards, winning Breakthrough Artist of the Year and R&B/Soul Recording of the Year at the 2012 edition. The single "Wicked Games" garnered nominations at several music awards, such as two MTV Video Music Awards — including Artist to Watch —, a MuchMusic Video Award for Video of the Year and his first SOCAN Music Award.

2013 saw The Weeknd being nominated for the first time at the BET Awards and MTV Europe Music Awards. That same year, he released his debut studio album, Kiss Land, which earned nominations at the Juno Awards and the SiriusXM Indies Awards, while the single "Belong to the World" was nominated at the MMVAs and the MTV Video Music Awards Japan. In 2014, The Weeknd was nominated for the first time at the Grammy Awards, thanks to his single with Wiz Khalifa, "Remember You", which was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. That same year, he won the Allan Slaight Award, dedicated to a young Canadian for "making a positive impact in the fields of music, film, literature, visual or performing arts, sports, innovation or philanthropy". 2015 marked the year of his breakthrough into mainstream award shows with his second album, Beauty Behind the Madness: it won the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album, a Soul Train Music Award for Best Album of the Year, an American Music Award for Favorite Soul/R&B Album and the Juno Awards for Album of the Year and R&B/Soul Recording of the Year, while its singles and The Weeknd himself were recipients of several awards. He won a total of five awards at the 2016 edition of the Juno Awards and eight awards at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, while also being a subject of songwriting prizes at the ASCAP and SOCAN.

His third studio album, Starboy, was released in 2016. It won the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album in 2018 and the Juno Award for R&B/Soul Recording of the Year in 2017. Its singles earned nominations at several other awards, while The Weeknd won his first NRJ Music Award with a Honor awardd in 2017. 2018 saw the release of his first EP, My Dear Melancholy, which won an iHeartRadio Music Awward for R&B Album of the Year and won The Weeknd a Billboard Music Award for Top Male R&B Artist; that year and 2019 were quiet years for The Weeknd at music and awards, winning mostly songwriting awards at the ASCAP and SOCAN.
