Directors Guild of America Award untuk Penyutradaraan Film Fitur Terbaik

Directors Guild of America Award untuk Prestasi Penyutradaraan Luar Biasa dalam Film adalah salah satu Directors Guild of America Awards tahunan yang dipersembahkan oleh Directors Guild of America. 

Dengan 3 kemenangan dari 13 nominasi, Steven Spielberg adalah sutradara yang paling banyak mendapat penghargaan dan nominasi dalam kategori ini sepanjang sejarah DGA, dan direktur pertama yang menerima nominasi DGA dalam enam dekade berturut-turut. Selain itu, Alejandro G. Iñárritu adalah satu-satunya sutradara yang menang dua kali berturut-turut; ia dianugerahi pada tahun 2015 dan 2016 atas prestasi penyutradaraannya masing-masing untuk Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) dan The Revenant. Tiga tim penyutradaraan telah berbagi penghargaan: Robert Wise dan Jerome Robbins atas West Side Story (1961), Joel Coen dan Ethan Coen atas No Country for Old Men (2007), dan Daniel Kwan dan Daniel Scheinert atas Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022).
