O Óscar ao mellor deseño de produción (Academy Award for Best Production Design) é un premio entregado pola Academia das Artes e das Ciencias Cinematográficas como parte dos premios Oscar. Recoñece os méritos na dirección de arte dun filme.
O nome orixinario da categoría era Mellor dirección de arte (Best Art Direction), mais cambiouse polo nome actual en 2012, para a 85ª edición dos Óscar. O cambio foi debido a que a rama dos directores de arte da Academia renomeouse como rama dos deseñadores. Desde 1947 o premio está compartido con decoradores.
