The singer scooped the prize for her tenth studio album Let England Shake, which also won her the Mercury Music Prize back in September.
Harvey fought off competition from Radiohead's The King of Limbs, Bon Iver's self-titled effort and Fleet Foxes' Helplessness Blues among others.
The LP was chose as the 2011 winner by a panel of seven judges which included folk singer Linda Thompson, comedian Stewart Lee and Uncut editor Allan Jones.
Speaking of her win, Harvey told Uncut: "I'm very pleased to get the Uncut Music Award 2011, and it strengthens my desire to carry on pursuing the avenues of work I have been for the last 20 years.
"It strengthens my conviction to always trust my instincts and to continue to do work of meaning and importance, in some way."
