The Four Freedoms Award is an annual award presented to “those men and women whose achievements have demonstrated a commitment to those principles which US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt proclaimed in his Four Freedoms speech to the United States Congress on January 6, 1941, as essential to democracy: “freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, freedom from fear”.

The annual award is handed out in alternate years in New York City by the Roosevelt Institute to Americans. In even years, the award ceremony is held in  Middelburg, Netherlands, by the Roosevelt Stichting to non-Americans, the choice of Middelburg was motivated by the suspected descent of the family Roosevelt from Oud-Vossemeer in the municipality Tholen. The Freedom Medal 2026 is awarded to Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people.
