The following is a list of awards, honors, and nominations received by American musician, singer, songwriter, and author Carly Simon. Among her numerous accolades, she is the recipient of two Grammy Awards, from 14 nominations, as well as an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award. Her debut album, Carly Simon, was released in 1971 and won her the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1972, while the lead single "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" earned her a nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the same ceremony. Her second album, Anticipation, earned her another Grammy nomination in the same category the following year. Her third album, No Secrets, was released in 1972 and spawned the worldwide hit "You're So Vain", which earned Simon three Grammy nominations in 1974: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. No Secrets also earned a nomination for Best Engineered Recording at the same ceremony, for engineers Robin Geoffrey Cable and Bill Schnee.[1]

Simon's 1977 worldwide hit "Nobody Does It Better", the theme song to the Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, garnered her another Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1978. The song also earned a nomination for Song of the Year, for composer Marvin Hamlisch and songwriter Carole Bayer Sager.[2] Simon's seventh album, Boys in the Trees, was released later that year and spawned the hit single "You Belong to Me", which earned her another Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1979. Boys in the Trees won Best Album Package at the same ceremony; the Grammy went to Johnny Lee and Tony Lane.[3] Simon's eighth album, Spy, was released in 1979 and its lead single, "Vengeance", earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance in 1980, the first year to feature this category.[4]

Simon released her 13th album, Coming Around Again, in 1987. It became a major hit and earned her two Grammy nominations: Best Recording for Children for "Itsy Bitsy Spider" in 1987 and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the album in 1988. With her 1988 hit "Let the River Run", from the film Working Girl, Simon became the first artist to win a Grammy, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe for a song composed and written, as well as performed, entirely by a single artist.[5] Simon's musical work on the films Working Girl and Postcards from the Edge earned her two consecutive British Academy Film Award nominations for Best Film Music, in 1990 and 1991, respectively. Simon was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1994.[6] Simon received the Boston Music Awards Lifetime Achievement in 1995,[7] and a Berklee College of Music Honorary Doctor of Music Degree in 1998.[8] Two more Grammy nominations followed, the first for Film Noir in 1998 and the second for Moonlight Serenade in 2006, both in the category of Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

Simon was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "You're So Vain" in 2004, and was nominated for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame the following year,[9] but she has yet to claim her star.[10] She was awarded the Founders Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) in 2012.[11] Simon was set to be honored at Carnegie Hall with a tribute concert on March 19, 2020, but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[12] It was rescheduled to take place on March 23, 2022, but was later canceled altogether due to COVID-19–related challenges.[13][14] On November 5, 2022, Simon was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[15] She was unable to attend the ceremony due to personal tragedy.[16] She was inducted by American singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles.[17]
