David di Donatello for Best Foreign Actress

Former annual Italian film award

The David di Donatello for Best Foreign Actress (Italian: David di Donatello per la migliore attrice straniera) is a category in the David di Donatello Awards, described as "Italy's answer to the Oscars".[1] It was awarded by the Accademia del Cinema Italiano (ACI, Academy of Italian Cinema) to recognize outstanding efforts on the part of non-Italian film actresses during the year preceding the ceremony. The award was created during the second edition of the ceremony, in 1957, and cancelled after the 1996 event.[2] The award was not granted in 1958.

Audrey Hepburn and Jodie Foster, with three awards each, are the record-holders in this category.
