The British Book Award for Travel Writer of the Year was made on four occasions between the years 1990 and 1993 and discontinued thereafter. Since there has been no shortage of travel writers being published since that time one can only presume that a shortage of sponsors is the explanation for the disappearance of this award category.

Past Winners

• 1990 - Peter Mayle A Year in Provence
• 1991 - V.S. Naipaul India
