List of Venezuelan Nobel laureates

Two Venezuelan citizens have been associated with a Nobel Prize: the immunologist Baruj Benacerraf who was awarded the 1980 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine alongside French immunologist Jean Dausset and American immunologist George Davis Snell, and the politician María Corina Machado, who received the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for promoting democratic rights in Venezuela and working toward a peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.

Nominations

Venezuelans started receiving nominations in 1908. There are also other purported nominees whose nominations are yet to be verified since the archives are revealed 50 years after, including the Venezuelan human rights organization Foro Penal, which has been reportedly nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2015, 2016 and 2019.
