The '''BAFTA Fellowship''', or the Academy Fellowship, is a lifetime achievement award presented by the [[British Academy of Film and Television Arts]] (BAFTA) in recognition of "outstanding achievement in the art forms of the moving image".<ref name="guard2011">{{cite news |title=Baftas 2011: The King's Speech sweeps the board |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2011/feb/13/baftas-2011-the-kings-speech |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=13 February 2011 |access-date=13 February 2011 |location=[[London]] |first=Mark |last=Brown |archive-date=6 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006055613/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2011/feb/13/baftas-2011-the-kings-speech |url-status=live}}</ref> The award is the highest honour the Academy can bestow, and has been awarded annually since 1971.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8018970.stm |title=Harry Hill takes Bafta TV prize |access-date=5 July 2009 |date=22 April 2009 |publisher=[[BBC News]] |quote=... the prestigious honour ... |archive-date=27 April 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090427013109/https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8018970.stm |url-status=live}} <br /> – {{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2002/apr/27/broadcasting.uknews |work=[[The Guardian]] |access-date=5 July 2009 |date=27 April 2002 |first=Matt |last=Wells |title=TV to screen story of warrior queen |quote=... awarded a prestigious Bafta fellowship for his work ... |location=[[London]] |archive-date=14 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140314145002/https://www.theguardian.com/media/2002/apr/27/broadcasting.uknews |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://heritage.bafta.org/moment/1971/the-fellowship-baftas-top-prize/60 |publisher=[[British Academy of Film and Television Arts|BAFTA]] |access-date=13 May 2019 |title=The Fellowship: BAFTA's top prize |quote=Awarded annually, the Fellowship is the highest accolade BAFTA can bestow on any one figure |archive-date=13 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190513071405/https://heritage.bafta.org/moment/1971/the-fellowship-baftas-top-prize/60 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Fellowship recipients have mainly been [[film director]]s, but some have been awarded to [[actor]]s, [[film producer|film]]/[[television producer]]s, [[cinematographer]]s, [[film editing|film editor]]s, [[screenwriter]]s, and (since 2007) <!-- the year one was awarded, not the year that they qualified for recognition--> contributors to the [[video game]] industry. In 2002, [[Merchant Ivory Productions]] became the first organisation to win the award. People from the United Kingdom dominate the list, but it includes over a dozen U.S. citizens and several from other countries in Europe, though none of the latter have been recognized since 1996. In 2010, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] became the first citizen of an Asian country to receive the award.

The inaugural recipient of the award was the filmmaker and producer [[Alfred Hitchcock]]. The award has been made posthumously to the comedy pair [[Morecambe and Wise]] in 1999, and to [[Stanley Kubrick]], who died that year and was made a fellow in 2000.<ref name=caine/><ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/march/21/newsid_2525000/2525167.stm |publisher=[[BBC News]] |title=1999: Comedy genius Ernie Wise dies |access-date=29 July 2009 |date=21 March 1999 |archive-date=21 October 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091021142243/https://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/march/21/newsid_2525000/2525167.stm |url-status=live}}</ref>

Overall, 88 men have won the award, and 17 women. 2012 winner [[Rolf Harris]] is the only person to have had the award subsequently annulled.
