The four-time Academy Award nominee will receive the honour - in recognition of his body of work - on September 17. The award will be presented to Hawke, 46, in a ceremony celebrating his three career prior to the festival’s gala screening of The Magnificent Seven.
Hawke, who has also turned his hand to directing with Chelsea Walls, The Hottest Slate and Seymour: An Introduction, stars in the remake of the western classic alongside Denzel Washington - who received the Donostia in 2014.
The festival said: "Hawke’s career, spanning 30 years and four Academy Award nominations, has solidified his reputation as a truly multifaceted artist, challenging himself as a screenwriter, director, novelist, and actor of the stage and screen."
Hawke was Oscar-nominated as best supporting actor for Training Day and Boyhood and received adapted screenplay nods for Before Midnight and Before Sunset alongside Richard Linklater and Julie Delpy.
