La National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF) è una organizzazione nonprofit che riconosce inventori che detengono un brevetto U.S. di alto profilo tecnologico. Viene fondata nel 1973, per onorare tali soggetti. Accanto alla Hall of Fame, opera un museo a Alexandria (Virginia), e una scuola a Akron (Ohio) e sponsorizza programmi educativi.[1]

Al 2020 sono 603 gli inventori introdotti, viventi e non.[2] Un comitato decide annualmente chi riconoscere.[3]
