The Outer Critics Circle Award for Direction of a Play, formerly the award for Director of a Play, is an annual award given to the best director of a (non-musical) play on Broadway or Off-Broadway, as determined by Outer Critics Circle. The award has been given out since the 1992–1993 season, when the Best Director award split and renamed into musical and play categories.[citation needed] In 2024, the award was renamed to Outstanding Direction of a Play.[1][better source needed]
