The Eisner Award for Best Penciller/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team is an award for "creative achievement" in American comic books. It is awarded to an individual or team involved with pencilling and inking a comic.
In 1993 two awards were given out: "Best Penciller/Inker, Black & White Publication" and "Best Penciller/Inker, Color Publication." These awards were merged in 1994 after one year. Since then the official name of the award has changed depending on the nominees. It has been "Best Penciller/Inker" 5 times (1996, 2005, 2006, 2013, 2015, ) and "Best Penciller/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team" 22 times (1994-1995, 1997–2004, 2007–2012, 2014, 2016–present).

The Eisner Awards have presented separate awards for "Best Penciller" and "Best Inker," though neither has been awarded since the 1990s.
