The Land Uplifter of the Year in the High Coast and Kvarken Archipelago World Heritage Site is a person or organisation that has contributed positively to the World Heritage site. This may be someone who has helped preserve or develop the site, shared knowledge in an engaging way, or created memorable experiences for residents or visitors. 

The award is an honorary distinction, recognising valuable contributions made for the benefit of the World Heritage site. The Land Uplifter of the Year is selected by the Advisory Board for the High Coast/Kvarken Archipelago World Heritage Site.

The Land Uplifter of the Year will be appointed in High Coast every second year and in Kvarken Archipelago every second year. In 2025, the award was presented for the first time, in the High Coast. The award went to the association Världsarvsledens vänner.
