Oscar för bästa kortfilmsdokumentär

Nedan följer en lista över vinnare och nominerade av en Oscar för Bästa kortfilmsdokumentär, (Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject)). Kategorin kallas även ibland för Bästa dokumentärkortfilm och dokumentära kortfilm. Den här kategorin infördes på Oscarsgalan 1942, och har delats ut varje år sedan dess, med undantag för 1958. Under andra världskrigets år handlade filmerna ofta om kriget, framförallt de allierades insatser. Vinnarna presenteras överst i fetstil och med gul färg, och de övriga nominerade för samma år följer under. Året gäller det år som filmerna släpptes, och parentesen under för vilken Oscarsgala de nominerades på.

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.

Notering: I ett pressmeddelande av amerikanska filmakademien 2005, fastslog de att vinnarna Benjy (1951) och Neighbours (1952) är med i gruppen över filmer som inte bara tävlade, utan även vann en Oscar i helt fel kategori. Benjy, som är regisserad av Fred Zinnemann och berättad av Henry Fonda, är en fiktiv historia om en handikappad pojk. Filmen användes som en pengainsamling till Los Angeles Orthopedic Hospital. Norman McLarens Neighbours, som idag skulle ha tävlat i bästa animerade kortfilm, använde sig av "pixilation", (animering där man använder sig av riktiga människor), för att skapa en allegori av krig.
