The Prix Iris for Best Sound () is an annual film award presented by Québec Cinéma as part of the Prix Iris awards program, to honour the year's best sound in feature films made within the Cinema of Quebec. Unlike some film awards, Québec Cinéma does not present separate awards for overall sound and sound editing, but instead honours the full sound team in a single category; however it does also present a distinct category for Best Sound in a Documentary.
Until 2016, it was known as the Jutra Award for Best Sound in memory of influential Quebec film director Claude Jutra. Following the withdrawal of Jutra's name from the award, the 2016 award was presented under the name Québec Cinéma. The Prix Iris name was announced in October 2016.
Re-recording mixer Bernard Gariépy Strobl received the most nominations, twenty-eight, while sound mixer Luc Boudrias and sound editor Sylvain Bellemare were nominated twenty-three and twenty times respectively, making them the only three persons to receive twenty nominations or more in a single category.
When combining his nominations for Best Sound in a Documentary, Bernard Gariépy Strobl reaches thirty nominations, making him the second most nominated person at the Prix Iris behind Xavier Dolan who received thirty-one nominations. Gariépy Strobl is the only person to win ten awards in a single category and is also only second to Dolan in total wins, with Dolan scoring fifteen awards across multiple categories.
