Radiosportens Jerringpris is a prize established by Radiosporten, the sport section of Sveriges Radio. The prize is named for the Swedish radio personality Sven Jerring. It is also called "the prize of the people", since it's the radio audience who votes on the Swedish athlete or team that has made the best sport performance of the year.

The first prize was awarded in 1979, and the winner was the alpine skier Ingemar Stenmark, and the person who has been awarded the most times is the biathlete Magdalena Forsberg, with four awards.

Annika Sörenstam has received the prize twice, in 1995 and 2003
