The Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Orchestrations is an annual award presented by Drama Desk in recognition of achievements in the theatre among Broadway, Off Broadway and Off-Off Broadway productions. This category was eliminated with the 2011–12 season, only to be reinstated about a week later due to popular and overwhelming demand from much of the Broadway community.
