Note
  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

The following is a list of awards and nominations received by English actor Benedict Cumberbatch. He won the British Academy Television Award for Best Actor for his performance as the title character in Patrick Melrose. He earned six Primetime Emmy Award nominations, winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for playing the role of Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock. He also received three Laurence Olivier Award nominations, winning the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor for Frankenstein. His portrayal of Alan Turing in The Imitation Game earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. In addition, he has received seven British Academy of Film and Television Arts nominations, five Screen Actors Guild Award nominations, and three Golden Globe Award nominations, among others. In 2014, Time magazine included him in its annual Time 100 as one of the "Most Influential People in the World". He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by Queen Elizabeth II in June 2015, for his services to the performing arts and to charity. On 1 July 2018, Cumberbatch was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award at The South Bank Sky Arts Awards.
