The Johannes Brahms Medal (German: Johannes-Brahms-Medaille) of Hamburg is a music award established in 1928, named after the composer Johannes Brahms who was born in Hamburg.[1]

The medal is given irregularly by the Senat der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg [de] to artists who contributed to musical life in Hamburg, especially devoted to music by Brahms. The medal shows a portrait of the composer. It was designed by the Hamburg sculptor Friedrich Wield.[2] Until 1935, it was primarily given to German or Austrian composers, and for services to the musical life of Hamburg. In 1935, international members of the Permanent Council organising Hamburg's International Festival were all awarded medals.[3]
