The Michael Faraday Medal and Prize is a prize awarded annually by the Institute of Physics in experimental physics, one of the Institute's Gold medals.[1] The award is made "for outstanding and sustained contributions to experimental physics." The medal is gold and accompanied by a prize of £1000 and a certificate.[2]

Historical development
- 1914-1965 Guthrie Lecture initiated to remember Frederick Guthrie[3], founder of the Physical Society (which merged with the Institute of Physics in 1960).
- 1966-2007 Guthrie Medal and Prize (in response to changed conditions from when the lecture was first established). From 1992, it became one of the Institute's Premier Awards.
