List of actors nominated for Academy Awards for non-English performances

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has given Academy Awards to actors and actresses for non-English performances in films, with the first award given in 1962. For an actor or actress to be eligible for any of the Academy Awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, or Best Supporting Actress for a foreign language performance in a film produced outside the United States, the film must have been commercially released in Los Angeles County and have English subtitles with the theatrical release. This list is current as of the 98th Academy Awards ceremony held on March 15, 2026. In 1962, Sophia Loren became the first actor to win an Oscar for a fully non-English spoken language performance.
