for Outstanding Set Design 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.

Boris Aronson and Robin Wagner hold the record for most wins in the category before its retirement, with four wins each, followed closely by Santo Loquasto with three wins. Loquasto also holds the record for most nominations with eleven, followed by Tony Walton with nine.
