Note
  1. ^ Powderfinger tracks have been ranked as #1 on Triple J Hottest 100 charts twice, and have been ranked in other positions 21 times.
  2. ^ 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.

This is a comprehensive listing of awards won by Powderfinger, an alternative rock band who were based in Brisbane, Australia.[1] The band formed in 1989 in Brisbane, and their lineup since 1992 consisted of Bernard Fanning, John Collins, Ian Haug, Darren Middleton and Jon Coghill.[2]

Powderfinger is highly successful in the Australian recording industry, being a recipient of the industry's flagship awards, the Australian Recording Industry Association Music Awards, eighteen times.[3] The group has also topped the Triple J Hottest 100 chart twice, and had a total of 21 entries listed. The group has also received three awards from the Australasian Performing Right Association, four Jack Awards,[4] and four Music Industry Critics' Awards.[5]
