Honorary Muppets are the select individuals who have achieved a place in Muppet history as someone who has appeared in Muppet form, or been described by the Muppets as somewhat Muppet-like.

In 1986, Muppet Magazine published the first and only Honorary Muppet Awards. The honorees were awarded a special "Kermie" and photographed for the magazine.
