The actor, who plays the shambolic spy Jackson Lamb in the Apple TV+ series, said in a statement that being given the award is “enormously flattering”.
Oldman said: "My heartfelt thanks to the Edinburgh TV Festival for this generous honour. To receive an award bearing the title Global Icon is both enormously flattering and faintly alarming!
"In all seriousness, I am touched by this generosity and thankful to all those whose creativity, trust, and collaboration have shaped my journey. My warmest thanks to the festival, and I very much look forward to being with you in Edinburgh."
He is also known for playing Sirius Black in the Harry Potter film series and James Gordon in The Dark Knight trilogy.
In recent years, Oldman has transitioned to television, and has appeared in five seasons of the Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning spy drama Slow Horses.
