Prix Iris for Best Art Direction

The Prix Iris for Best Art Direction (French: Prix Iris de la meilleure direction artistique) is an annual film award presented by Québec Cinéma as part of the Prix Iris awards program, to honour the year's best art direction in the Cinema of Quebec.

Until 2016, it was known as the Jutra Award for Best Art Direction in memory of influential Quebec film director Claude Jutra.^[1] Following the withdrawal of Jutra's name from the award, the 2016 award was presented under the name Québec Cinéma.^[1] The Prix Iris name was announced in October 2016.^[2]

André-Line Beauparlant received the most nominations, ten, while François Séguin won four awards from four nominations, a rare perfect score.
