The Toronto Theatre Critics Awards are annual awards, presented by a committee of theatre critics in the media of Toronto, Ontario, to honour achievements in the city's theatre production in the previous year.
The awards were launched in 2011 by John Colbourn of the Toronto Sun, Richard Ouzounian of the Toronto Star, Robert Cushman of the National Post and J. Kelly Nestruck of The Globe and Mail, as the first new opportunity for Toronto theatre critics to vote on or present awards since the discontinuation of the Floyd S. Chalmers Canadian Play Award in 2001.
The awards went on hiatus after 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on theatre production. They returned in 2024.
To be eligible for this award, a play only has to have received its first production in the Toronto market within the eligibility period, and does not necessarily have to be a world debut.
