The Foyles Books of the Year have been announced annually since 2017 by the British bookseller chain Foyles. From 2017 to 2023 they recognised outstanding literature in three categories: Fiction, Non-fiction, and Children's. A fiction award was conferred in 2016, before the other two categories were added. In 2024 the award changed to a combined one for all genres.[1]

When announcing the 2023 choices, Foyles said that they chose "our favourite, most interesting, most important, most year-defining titles published, recommended and sold this year".[2]
