Academy Award untuk Musik Orisinal Terbaik

Academy Award untuk Skor Orisinal Terbaik (atau Skor Musik Terbaik) adalah penghargaan yang diberikan setiap tahun oleh Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) ke penata musik yang menciptakan skor musik (yang substansial dalam bentuk penggaris bawah dramatis) yang khusus ditulis untuk film tersebut. Meski beberapa musik yang sudah ada sebelumnya diperbolehkan, tetapi film yang ikut serta harus menyertakan minimal musik asli. Minimum ini sejak 2021 ditetapkan sebesar 35% dari musik, yang dinaikkan menjadi 80% untuk sekuel dan film waralaba (film franchise). Lima belas skor disaring dalam daftar pendek sebelum nominasi diumumkan.
