The Drama Desk Award for Outstanding
Set Design was an annual award presented by Drama Desk in recognition of achievements in the theatre across collective
Broadway,
off-Broadway and
off-off-Broadway productions in
New York City. The award was first presented in 1969, for work in either a
play or
musical production. It was retired after the 1997 ceremony, replaced by separate play and musical categories, but returned as a singular category starting in 2010. It was permanently retired after the 2015 presentation, again replaced by separate play and musical categories.
