The 94-year-old will receive the Oscar statuette – her first – at the film academy’s Governors Awards ceremony in Los Angeles.
She is best known for films such as Miracle on 34th Street, Sinbad the Sailor and The Parent Trap.
She was a frequent collaborator with director John Ford, appearing in five of his films, including The Quiet Man.
O’Hara said she cried when she heard the news, then cried again when discussing the honour during a recent interview.
"It’s just absolutely wonderful,” she said. "I keep thinking, `Oh, this is a league of baloney. They’re not telling me the truth.’"
The Dublin-born actress added: "Making movies is a wonderful experience.
"It’s wonderful the stories that you fall in love with and you make and they wind up being very successful, and it breaks your heart almost. I don’t mean with sadness. It breaks your heart with joy."
Also receiving honorary awards were US actor and singer Harry Belafonte, Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki and French screenwriter and actor Jean-Claude Carriere.

With his laid-back armchair style and his warm Irish demeanour, Doonican was one of the most popular and best-selling singers of his generation
It took him years to establish his niche, but once he had achieved success he remained at the top of his profession for more than two decades, a regular and a firm favourite on some of the most widely watched television shows of the time.
His greatest hits include Walk Tall and Elusive Butterfly, with his album ‘Val Doonican Rocks, But Gently’ knocked The Beatles’ Sgt Pepper off the top of the albums chart in 1968.

His daughter Sarah told the Guardian: "Until 87, he was as fit as a flea. It was just old age, I’m afraid – the batteries ran out.”
As well as his many top ten albums, he became known for his trademark knitwear as well as for performing in a rocking chair. Here are some of his most colourful sweaters and cardigans…
