Oscar za najbolji originalni scenarij (eng. Academy Award for Writing Original Screenplay ) je Oscar za najbolji scenarij koji nije temeljen na prethodno objavljenom materijali. Prije 1940. postojao je Oscar za najbolju originalnu priču . Od iste godine te su dvije nagrade razdvojene u dvije kategorije. Počevši s dodjelom Oscara 1957. , dvije su kategorije kombinirane kako bi se odala počast samo scenariju.
