Albert Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics specifically 'for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect,' not for his theory of relativity.

Jurisdictional & Contextual Caveats

Einstein did formulate both special and general relativity, but the Nobel committee explicitly bypassed relativity due to political and scientific controversy at the time.
