The Aurora Awards are granted annually by the Canadian SF and Fantasy Association and SFSF Boreal Inc. The Award for Best Short Fiction (French: La meilleure fiction courte) was first recognized in 1986 as a separate category from Best Long-Form and granted as the Award for Best Short-Form (French: Meilleure nouvelle), one to an English-language work and one to a French-language work, but it did not become a dedicated category until 1989. In 1997 it was renamed to the Award for Best Short-Form Work and then again in 2012 it became the Award for Best Short Story, when the Prix Aurora and Prix Boreal combined, before adopting the name Award for Best Short Fiction a year later.
Robert J. Sawyer holds the highest number of awards for the English-language prize at five (5) awards. Élisabeth Vonarburg and Yves Meynard hold the highest number of awards for the French-language prize, also at five each.
No winner was selected in 1986, but a shortlist was created.

The Aurora Awards are a set of primarily literary awards given annually for the best Canadian science fiction or fantasy professional and fan works and achievements from the previous year. The event is organized by Canvention and the awards are given out by the Canadian SF and Fantasy Association and SFSF Boreal Inc. Originally they were known as the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Awards which was shortened to CSFFA and nicknamed the Casper Awards based on that acronym, but this name was changed to the Aurora Awards in 1991, because the Aurora is the same in English and French. The categories have expanded from those focused on literary works to include categories that recognize achievements in comics, music, poetry, art, film and television.
