{{DISPLAYTITLE:List of awards and nominations received by ''Only Fools and Horses''}}
''[[Only Fools and Horses]]'' is a British sitcom created and written by [[John Sullivan (writer)|John Sullivan]] and broadcast on [[BBC One]]. Seven series were broadcast between 1981 and 1991, followed by sporadic Christmas specials until 2003. The show centres on the lives of the Trotters, a working-class family of market traders who live in [[Peckham]], [[London]]. Headed by [[Del Boy]], his younger brother [[Rodney Trotter|Rodney]] and their elderly [[Grandad (Only Fools and Horses)|Grandad]] (and later their [[Uncle Albert]]), the series shows their highs and lows in life as they strive to become millionaires through a variety of [[get-rich-quick scheme]]s. The show achieved consistently high ratings, including a record 24.3 million viewers for the 1996 episode "[[Time on Our Hands]]", and was named [[Britain's Best Sitcom]] in a 2004 BBC poll.

''Only Fools and Horses'' was nominated for, and received, a multitude of awards. It received its first [[British Academy of Film and Television Arts|BAFTA]] nomination in 1983, but lost out to ''[[Hi-de-Hi!]]''. A year later it won its first major award, when it was named Comedy Programme of the Year by the [[Television and Radio Industries Club]]. The show was nominated for eight BAFTAs for best comedy series, winning in 1988, 1990 and 1996. It also won three [[British Comedy Awards]], a [[National Television Award]], a [[Royal Television Society Award]] and another TRIC award in 1997. For his portrayal of [[Del Boy]], David Jason won two BAFTAs (from six nominations), three British Comedy Awards, two National Television Awards and one Royal Television Society Award. [[Nicholas Lyndhurst]] received three BAFTA nominations. In 1997 John Sullivan won the [[Writers' Guild of Great Britain]] award for Best Situation Comedy.
