The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said the award recognised Mr Krugman's analysis of trade patterns and where economic activity takes place.
It said Mr Krugman, a Princeton University professor, had formulated new theories that answered questions about free trade and globalisation.
It was the last in a series of Nobel prizes announced this year.
"What are the effects of free trade and globalisation? What are the driving forces behind worldwide urbanisation? Paul Krugman has formulated a new theory to answer these questions," the academy said in its citation.
"He has thereby integrated the previously disparate research fields of international trade and economic geography," it added.
