LOscar al millor curtmetratge és un premi que atorga l'Acadèmia de Cinema de Hollywood en una cerimònia anual, en reconeixement del millor curtmetratge.
Des de l'inici dels premis el 1932 fins a l'any 1935 estava dividit en "Millor curtmetratge de comèdia" i "Millor curtmetratge de novetat". De 1936 a 1956 hi va haver dues categories separades: "Millor curtmetratge d'un carret" i "Millor curtmetratge de dos carrets". Els anys 1936 i 1937 es van entregar també els premis "Millor curtmetratge en color". A partir de 1957 van passar a ser categoria única.
