The Nobel honour comes with a $1.4million prize.
The White House says Obama will give that to charities, but he has not yet decided which ones.
Other recipients of this year’s Nobel prizes include George E Smith, a scientist who escaped suicide bombers, and a writer who endured years of prosecution in communist Romania.
Romanian-born author Herta Mueller will receive the Nobel literature award for her critical depiction of life behind the Iron Curtain - work drawn largely from her personal experiences.
Mueller's mother spent five years in a communist gulag, and the writer herself was tormented by the Securitate secret police because she refused to become their informant.
