Oscar för bästa dokumentär
Nedan följer en lista över vinnare och nominerade av en Oscar för Bästa dokumentär (Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature). Priset har givits ut sedan den 15:e Oscargalan, där de dokumentära kortfilmerna och de längre dokumentärerna sammansvetsades till en och samma kategori, för att därefter delas upp i två olika kategorier.
Vinnarna presenteras överst med gul färg och i fetstil. Året avser året som filmerna släpptes, varpå de fick pris på galan året därpå.
1940-talet
Notering: På Oscarsgalan 1943 nominerades 25 filmer i kategorin dokumentär, där fyra speciella priser delades ut till filmer som behandlade de allierades insatser i andra världskriget.
