Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Nobel Prizes were awarded in curtailed local ceremonies.

The Nobel Prizes are traditionally presented at a grand ceremony in Stockholm (all the Prizes barring the Peace Prize, which is presented in Oslo) on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death.
