Оскар за најдобар режисер

Оскар за режија (англиски: Best Director Academy Award) е награда што ја доделува Академијата за филмски уметности и наука на најдобриот режисер, или режисерка во текот на изминатата година. Академијата избира еден режисер од петмина номинирани.

Иако се смета дека оваа награда им се доделува на најдобрите режисери, некои од многу ценетите никогаш не ја добиле: Роберт Алтман (5 номинации), Ингмар Бергман (3 номинации), Џон Касаветис (1 номинација), Чарли Чаплин (1 номинација), Федерико Фелини (4 номинации), Хауард Хокс (1 номинација), Алфред Хичкок (5 номинации), Стенли Крамер (3 номинации), Стенли Кјубрик (4 номинации), Акира Куросава (1 номинација), Серџо Леоне (ниедна номинација), Ернст Лубич (3 номинации), Сидни Лумет (4 номинации), Дејвид Линч (3 номинации), Теренс Малик (1 номинација), Артур Пен (3 номинации), Ридли Скот (3 номинации), Кинг Видор (5 номинации), Питер Вир (4 номинации), Џорџ Лукас (2 номинации) и Орсон Велс (1 номинација).

Ниедна режисерка не е наградена со наградата за најдобра режија, а досега се номинирани само три (Џејн Кампион, Софија Копола и Лина Вертмилер).

Досега најнаградуван режисер е Џон Форд (4 пати), а потоа Френк Капра и Вилијам Вајлер, кои имаат по три. Вајлер со 12 номинации е најноминираниот режисер. Најноминиран режисер кој не освоил оскар е Кларенс Браун.
