Oscar för bästa originalsång
Oscar för bästa originalsång är ett av de priser som delas ut varje år av Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). Det delas ut till de låtskrivare som skriver den bästa originallåten specifikt för en film. Endast låtar som är "originella och skrivna specifikt för filmen" kan vinna.
Kategorin gavs för första gången vid den sjunde Oscarsgalan. Den ceremonin var för filmer från 1934. Nomineringarna görs av akademiledamöter som är låtskrivare och kompositörer. Alla akademiledamöter röstar fram vinnaren.
