The '''Man of Peace''' is an award conceptualized in 1999 by the annual [[World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates]] in [[Rome]]. The purpose of the award is to recognize individuals who "from personalities from the world of culture and entertainment who have stood up for human rights and for the spread of the principles of Peace and Solidarity in the world, made an outstanding contribution to international social justice and peace".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.nobelforpeace-summits.org/peace-summit-award/ |title=The Peace Summit Award |access-date=2012-07-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160115024037/http://www.nobelforpeace-summits.org/peace-summit-award/ |archive-date=2016-01-15 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>

The award was an initiative by former Soviet leader [[Mikhail Gorbachev]], himself a winner of a [[Nobel Peace Prize]]. It is presented in Rome's Campidoglio ([[Capitoline Hill]]) by President Gorbachev, [[Walter Veltroni]], Mayor of Rome, and the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates attending the annual summit meeting. 

In its early years the award was referred to as both the "Man for Peace" in Europe and "Man of Peace" in the United States. In 2006 its title was officially changed to "Man of Peace", also "[[Peace Summit Award]]".
