List of awards and nominations received by Stranger Things
Stranger Things is an American web television series created for Netflix by the Duffer Brothers, which features an ensemble cast. It is set in the fictional rural town of Hawkins, Indiana, in the 1980s. The Hawkins National Laboratory ostensibly performs scientific research for the United States Department of Energy, but secretly conducts experiments on the paranormal and supernatural, frequently employing human subjects. Inadvertently, the laboratory created a portal to an alternate dimension called "the Upside Down". The influence of the Upside Down starts to affect the unknowing residents of Hawkins in calamitous ways. All episodes of the first season were released on Netflix on July 15, 2016, and the second season was released in its entirety on October 27, 2017. A third season was released on July 4, 2019.

Stranger Things has been nominated for many awards, including 31 Primetime Emmy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, three Grammy Awards, four Critics' Choice Television Awards, seven Saturn Awards, two Producers Guild of America Awards, three Writers Guild of America Awards, and two Peabody Awards. It was also selected by the American Film Institute as one of its top 10 television programs of the year for the series' first two seasons.
