The Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Fight Choreography is an annual award presented by Drama Desk in recognition of achievements in fight choreography in theatre across collective Broadway, off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway productions in New York City. Unlike some Drama Desk Awards, this award combines plays and musicals into a single category.
