UiOs æresdoktorgrad gis til fremtredende, oftest utenlandske, akademikere. Graden har de samme benevnelser som vanlige doktorgrader, men tilføyes "honoris causa". Universitetet i Oslo har hatt rett til å utnevne æresdoktorer siden 1824.
Ved Det utdanningsvitenskapelige fakultet holder også fakultetets æresdoktorer sin æresdoktorforelesning i tilknytning til kreeringen. Denne vil normalt være fakultetets Helga Eng-forelesning samme år.
