# Oscar al millor curtmetratge documental

L'Oscar al millor curtmetratge documental és un premi que atorga l'Acadèmia de Cinema de Hollywood en una cerimònia anual, en reconeixement del millor curtmetratge documental. El premi es va crear en l'edició de 1941 dels premis.
L'Acadèmia de les Arts i les Ciències Cinematogràfiques (AMPAS) va reglar que un documental de temàtica curta es defineix com una pel·lícula de no ficció, ja sigui sobre fets reals o emprant recreacions parcials, imatges d'arxiu, fotografies, animació, stop-motion o altres tècniques, però posant èmfasi en els fets per sobre de la ficció. El temps d'execució no pot superar els quaranta minuts i s'ha de publicar durant un període especial d'elegibilitat que generalment va entre el mes d'octubre de l'any anterior i finalitza el setembre de l'any d'adjudicació, de manera que aquest període és diferent de la majoria de categories ja que només inclouen estrenes entre gener i desembre de l'any del premi. Addicionalment, la pel·lícula ha de tenir una narració o diàleg principalment en anglès o subtítols en anglès, i ha de ser una obra totalment original. Les edicions parcials d'obres més grans i episodi de pel·lícules en sèrie no poden ser candidates.
