The Jean-Marc Vallée DGC Discovery Award is an annual Canadian accolade presented by the Directors Guild of Canada (DGC) to celebrate the work of emerging filmmakers. Rededicated in 2022 in memory of director Jean-Marc Vallée, the award primarily recognizes filmmakers for their first or second feature films, though established directors exploring new genres are also eligible. Films long-listed for the award are frequently screened at prominent Canadian film festivals, including the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Festival du nouveau cinéma (FNC), and the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF).
