The Dallas–Fort Worth Film Critics Association Award for Best Documentary Film is an award presented by the Dallas–Fort Worth Film Critics Association (DFWFCA) to honor an outstanding documentary film.

Although the DFWFCA began handing out awards in 1990, they first added this category in 2002. To date, only directors Michael Moore and Davis Guggenheim have earned the honor more than once.
