The Sierra Club John Muir Award was given every year by the Sierra Club. It was the club's most important award. The Sierra Club said the award recognized outstanding leadership in national conservation efforts, such as helping to protect and create parks and wilderness areas.
After the Sierra Club reviewed John Muir's legacy in relation to racial justice, the John Muir Award was no longer given in 2020. In 2021, the club's highest award became the Changemaker of the Year Award.
