Sau khi phát minh ra thuốc nổ, Alfred Nobel, được sinh ra ở Thụy Điển, trở thành một người đàn ông rất giàu có. Tuy nhiên, ông đã dự đoán về sức mạnh hủy diệt trên phạm vi toàn cầu của nó quá muộn. Nobel không muốn được nhở đến như một người phát minh ra chất nổ, vì vậy vào năm 1895, chi hai tuần trước khi Ông mất, ông đã thành lập một quỹ sử dụng đế trao giải thưởng cho những người đã có những đóng góp đáng giả cho nhãn loại. Ban đầu có năm giải thưởng: văn học, vật lý, hóa học, y học và hòa bình. Giải kinh tế đã được bổ sung vào năm 1968, 67 năm kể từ lễ trao giải đầu tiên.

Gia tài chính triệu đô la của Nobel đã được đầu tư, và số tiền lãi của khoản tiền này được sử dụng cho các giải thưởng với giá trị từ 30.000 đến 125.000 đô la.

Hàng năm vào ngày 10 tháng 12, kỷ niệm ngày Nobel qua đời, giải thưởng (huy chương vàng, giấy chứng nhận và tiền) được trao cho người chiến thắng. Đôi khi chính trị đóng vai trò quan trọng trong quyết định của ban giám khảo. Người Mỹ đã giành được nhiều giải thưởng về khoa học, nhưng khá ít giải thưởng về văn học.

Không có giải thưởng nào được trao từ năm 1940 đến năm 1942 — khoáng thời gian đầu Thế chiến thứ II. Một số người đã giành được hai giải thường, nhưng điều này rất hiếm; nhiều người khác nhận chung một giải thưởng.
