This list covers the winners and nominees of the Harvey Award for Best International Book (formerly Best European Book) from 2018 onward.

In 2018, the Harvey Awards were revamped into six categories, recognizing works as opposed to individual creators as in previous years.[1] Per the Harvey Awards website, the Best International Book Award honors the "Best international material translated in to English."[2]

Prior to 2020, this award was called Best European Book, and was changed in 2020 to be more inclusive.[2]
