Troféu Collier
O Troféu Collier (em inglês: Collier Trophy, até 1922 Aero Club of America Trophy) é um prêmio concedido uma vez por ano nos Estados Unidos. É consagrado àqueles que obtiveram no ano anterior os maiores avanços nas áreas de aeronáutica e astronáutica nos Estados Unidos (em inglês: "the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America, with respect to improving the performance, efficiency, and safety of air or space vehicles, the value of which has been thoroughly demonstrated by actual use during the preceding year.")
O prêmio foi instituido em 1910 por Robert Joseph Collier, editor do Colliers Weekly e presidente do Aero Club of America, e concedido a primeira vez em 1911. O troféu pesa 240 kg e está exposto no Museu do Ar e Espaço.
