Oscar za najlepszy krótkometrażowy film animowany

Oscar za najlepszy krótkometrażowy film animowany (ang. Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film) – nagroda przyznawana przez członków Amerykańskiej Akademii Filmowej począwszy od 5. ceremonii wręczenia Oscarów w 1932.

Przez pierwsze 30 lat funkcjonowania tej kategorii dominowały w niej kreskówki produkowane przez główne wytwórnie filmowe, gdyż każda z nich dysponowała swoim własnym działem animacji. Gdy na początku lat 60. studia filmowe zaczęły pomału okrajać lub likwidować te działy, wśród nagradzanych i nominowanych krótkometrażówek zaczęły przeważać produkcje niezależne i międzynarodowe, których dominacja przypadła na lata 70. i 80. Od lat 90. nastąpił stopniowy renesans animacji produkowanych przez wielkie wytwórnie specjalizujące się w tego typu projektach, m.in. Pixar, Aardman Animations czy Blue Sky Studios. Dopomogła im również rewolucja technologiczna i przełom wynikający z tworzenia animacji komputerowych^[1].

Laureatami największej ilości nagród w tej kategorii byli: Walt Disney i jego seria Silly Symphonies oraz wytwórnia Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer i jej seria Tom i Jerry. Obydwie serie zdobyły po 7 statuetek^[2]^[3].

Polskie filmy nagrodzone w tej kategorii to: Tango (1981) Zbigniewa Rybczyńskiego oraz zrealizowany w Łodzi Piotruś i wilk (2006) Suzie Templeton. Nominację otrzymała również polska animacja Katedra (2002) Tomasza Bagińskiego.
