Academy Award untuk Tata Suara Terbaik

Academy Award untuk Tata Suara Terbaik (bahasa Inggris: Academy Award for Best Sound) adalah Penghargaan Akademi yang mengakui eufoni pencampuran suara, rekaman, tata suara, dan penyuntingan suara. Penghargaan ini dulunya diberikan kepada departemen suara studio hingga aturan berubah pada tahun 1969 yang menyatakan bahwa penghargaan ini seharusnya diberikan kepada teknisi tertentu, yang pertama adalah Murray Spivack dan Jack Solomon untuk Hello, Dolly!.^[1] Penghargaan ini umumnya diberikan kepada mixer suara produksi, mixer rekaman ulang, dan editor suara pengawas dari film pemenang. Dalam daftar di bawah ini, pemenang penghargaan untuk setiap tahun ditampilkan pertama, diikuti oleh nominasi lainnya. Sebelum Academy Awards ke-93, Pencampuran Suara Terbaik (bahasa Inggris: Best Sound Mixing) dan Penyunting Suara Terbaik (bahasa Inggris: Best Sound Editing) adalah kategori yang terpisah.^[2]

Untuk tahun kedua dan ketiga kategori ini (yaitu, Academy Awards ke-4 dan Academy Awards ke-5) hanya nama perusahaan film yang dicantumkan. Paramount Publix Studio Sound Department menang pada kedua tahun tersebut.
