Note
  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

American singer, songwriter, actress, author, and comedian Bette Midler has received many awards and award nominations for her work on both the screen and stage.[1]

During her musical career, Midler received fifteen Grammy Award nominations. In her first year, the artist won the trophy for Best New Artist.
