The Rufus N. Rhodes Leadership in Media Award is a set of annual awards given by the Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce to media leaders, journalists, or organizations who have made a significant, positive impact on the Birmingham area's economic development or public image. The award is named for Rufus N. Rhodes, founder of The Birmingham News and chairman of the Chamber in 1895. The awards are presented at the Chamber's annual Media Night event.

The awards were created in 2005 and first awarded on September 28, 2006. Nominations are allowed from any media outlet or the general public, although media outlets are limited to one nomination per category. The three categories are posthumous, individual, and news/media organization. They are awarded for "impact and outcomes, as opposed to journalistic talent."1 Judging is done by a panel of community leaders and academic communications professionals.
