Prix Iris for Best Cinematography

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

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

Cinematographer André Turpin received the most nominations and wins for this category, with twelve nominations and six awards. His first two awards were consecutive: in 2001 for Denis Villeneuve's Maelström and in 2002 for his own Soft Shell Man (Un crabe dans la tête). Robert Morin received a nomination in 2009 for Daddy Goes Ptarmigan Hunting (Papa à la chasse aux lagopèdes), becoming the second cinematographer, after Turpin, to be nominated for a film he also directed.

Cinematographer Pierre Mignot receive three consecutive awards in 2005, 2006 and 2007. André Turpin and Sara Mishara are the only cinematographers to receive two nominations in the same year, in 2015 and 2022 respectively.
