The Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical is an annual award given to the best revival of a musical on Broadway or Off-Broadway, as determined by Outer Critics Circle. An award for outstanding revival has been given out since 1987, with the 1987 revival of Anything Goes becoming the inaugural musical to win the award in 1988; however, split revival categories (play and musical) have existed since 1992.

Since its inception, six shows have won the award twice: Anything Goes , Fiddler on the Roof , She Loves Me , The King and I , La Cage aux Folles and Company .
