Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Revival of a Play

The Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Revival of a Play is an annual award given to the best revival of a (non-musical) play on Broadway or Off-Broadway, as determined by Outer Critics Circle. An award for outstanding revival has been given out since 1987, with All My Sons by Arthur Miller winning the inaugural award; however, split revival categories (play and musical) have existed since 1992.

All My Sons and A View from the Bridge, both by Arthur Miller, have both won the award twice, with Miller having won the most as well, with five wins. Death of a Salesman has been nominated the most times, with four nominations.
