Each year since 1960 the American Society of Civil Engineers has awarded to an individual the Theodore von Karman Medal, "in recognition of distinguished achievement in engineering mechanics."

Established in 1968, the Theodore von Kármán Prize has been awarded by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics to recognize outstanding application of mathematics in mechanics or engineering.

In 1968, Kármán was inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame.

Established in 1983, the Theodore von Kármán Award has been awarded annually by the International Academy of Astronautics to recognize outstanding lifetime achievements in any branch of science without limit of nationality or sex .

In 2005 Kármán was named as an Honorary Fellow of the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC).
Fellows of the AEDC are recognized as "People who have made exceptionally distinguished contributions to the center's flight testing mission."

Craters on Mars and the Moon are named in his honor.

The boundary between the atmosphere and space is named the Kármán line.

In Irvine, CA there is a five-mile street in the heart of Irvine's business center named after him.

In 1977, RWTH Aachen University named its newly constructed lecture hall complex "Kármán-Auditorium" in memory of Kármán's outstanding research contributions at the university's Aeronautical Institute.

An auditorium at JPL is named after Kármán, as is a series of monthly lectures held there since 2007.

An auditorium at AFRL is named after Arnold and Kármán.

University of Southern California Professor Shirley Thomas (after nearly two decades of petitioning) was able to create a postage stamp in his honor.

In 1963 President Kennedy awarded Kármán the National Medal of Science: "Dr. von Karman, it is a great pleasure for me to select you as the first recipient of the National Medal of Science.
I know of no one else who more completely represents all of the areas with which this award is appropriately concerned—science, engineering, and education."

In 1957, Kármán became the first recipient of the Ludwig-Prandtl-Ring from Deutsche Gesellschaft für Luft- und Raumfahrt (German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics) for "outstanding contribution in the field of aerospace engineering."

In 1956 Kármán founded a research institute in Sint-Genesius-Rode, Belgium, which is now named after him: the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics.

In 1948 Kármán was awarded the Franklin Medal.

The American Mathematical Society selected Kármán as its Josiah Willard Gibbs Lecturer for 1939.

The International von Kármán Wings Award Banquet is an annual affair.

The only still airworthy Lisunov Li-2 plane (reg.
HA-LIX) has been named Kármán Tódor in 2002.
