The Prix Iris for Best Screenplay (French: Prix Iris du meilleur scénario) is an annual film award, presented by Québec Cinéma as part of its Prix Iris program, to honour the year's best screenplay in the Cinema of Quebec.
Until 2016, it was known as the 'Jutra Award for Best Screenplay 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]
Bernard Émond, Philippe Falardeau and Ken Scott are the most nominated screenwriters with five nominations each. Philippe Falardeau won the award twice, Bernard Émond once and Ken Scott didn't win any award. Louis Bélanger, Xavier Dolan and Denis Villeneuve also won the award twice. Xavier Dolan became the first screenwriter to receive two nominations in the same year for Mommy and Tom at the Farm (Tom à la ferme) in 2015, followed in 2023 by Éric K. Boulianne for The Dishwasher (Le plongeur) and Viking.
