Hidden Figures (Original Score) is the score album jointly composed by Hans Zimmer, Pharrell Williams and Benjamin Wallfisch for the 2016 American biographical drama film Hidden Figures. It was released on January 9, 2017, by Sony Masterworks.^[1] The score consists of gospel music blended with acoustic and electronic music, to provide computer-like textures. It additionally featured African-American female vocalists performing the background score, and had featured several musical artists, including Herbie Hancock to work on the score.

Because of the involvement of more than two composers producing music for the film, the score was ruled ineligible to be shortlisted for Best Original Score at the 89th Academy Awards.^[2] However, it was nominated for Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, while receiving other accolades.
