In a statement, Roth said he was delighted to receive the prize and hopes it will bring his work to the attention of more readers around the world.
"I would like to thank the judges of the Man Booker Prize for awarding me this esteemed prize," he said.
"One of the particular pleasures I've had as a writer is to have my work read internationally despite all the heartaches of translation that that entails.
"I hope the prize will bring me to the attention of readers around the world who are not familiar with my work. This is a great honour and I'm delighted to receive it."
