Il Tony Award al miglior libretto (Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical) è un riconoscimento teatrale presentato dal 1949 che viene consegnato ai migliori librettisti e sceneggiatori per un musical. Questo premio era originariamente chiamato Tony Award al miglior autore, finché il teatro musicale e quello di prosa formarono due categorie differenti per le premiazioni dei Tony Award.
