# Prix Iris for Best Cinematography

The Prix Iris for Best Cinematography (French: Prix Iris de la meilleure direction de la photographie) is an annual film award presented by Québec Cinéma as part of the Prix Iris awards program, to honour the year's best cinematography in the Cinema of Quebec.
Until 2016, it was known as the Jutra Award for Best Cinematography in memory of influential Quebec film director Claude Jutra. Following the withdrawal of Jutra's name from the award, the 2016 award was presented under the name Québec Cinéma. The Prix Iris name was announced in October 2016.
Cinematographer André Turpin received the most nominations and wins for this category, with thirteen nominations and seven awards. Cinematographer Pierre Mignot receive three consecutive awards in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Robert Morin received a nomination in 2009 for Daddy Goes Ptarmigan Hunting (Papa à la chasse aux lagopèdes), becoming the second cinematographer, after Turpin, to be nominated for a film he also directed.
