The Golden Osella (Italian: Osella d'oro) is one of the oldest and most distinguished awards presented at the Venice Film Festival.[1] Named after the historic osella—a commemorative medal given by the Doges of Venice to notable members of the Venetian Republic—the Golden Osella honors exceptional achievements in cinema, covering a spectrum of creative and technical contributions.

It was introduced in 1987 by the festival's organizing committee and was awarded irregularly until 2012. Daniele Ciprì and Olivier Assayas are the most recent winners for their respective works in It Was the Son and Something in the Air.
