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 New Zealand actress Melanie Lynskey. Since winning her first accolade (Best Actress, 1995) at the New Zealand Film Awards for her portrayal of Pauline Parker in Heavenly Creatures, Lynskey has received various awards for her work in film and on television, including two Critics' Choice Awards, a HCA Award, a Gracie, a Hollywood Film Award and a Sundance Special Jury Award, as well as nominations for three Primetime Emmys, three Gothams, two Satellite Awards, an Independent Spirit Award, one Golden Nymph, and one Screen Actors Guild Award.

Lynskey was nominated for the 2015 Critics' Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress for her work on HBO's Togetherness. She won the 2022 Critics' Choice Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series for playing Shauna on Showtime's Yellowjackets, and later earned two Primetime Emmy nominations (Lead Actress in a Drama Series; 2022, 2023) for the same role. She received another Critics' Choice nomination (Supporting Actress in a Miniseries, 2023) for co-starring as Betty Gore in Candy, and a further Emmy nomination (Guest Actress in a Drama Series, 2023) for her role as Kathleen on the first season of HBO's The Last of Us.
