The Nastro d'Argento (Silver Ribbon) for Best Director (Italian: Nastro d'argento al regista del miglior film) is a film award bestowed annually as part of the Nastro d'Argento awards since 1946, organized by the Italian National Association of Film Journalists (Sindacato Nazionale dei Giornalisti Cinematografici Italiani or SNGCI), the national association of Italian film critics.[1][2]
This is the list of Nastro d'Argento awards for Best Director. Federico Fellini is the record holder with seven Nastro d'Argento awards for Best Director received from 1954 to 1984[3] (also the only one awarded in two consecutive editions, in 1954 in 1955 for the films I vitelloni and La Strada), followed by Luchino Visconti,[4] Gianni Amelio[5] and Giuseppe Tornatore, with four awards each.
