The Best Short Story Hugo category is one of the long-time stable Hugo categories. It was first used in 1955 and 1956, skipped in 1957, merged with the other short fiction categories into Best Short Fiction from 1960 to 1966, and returned permanently starting in 1967.

The category is for the shortest fiction, between 0 and 7500 words, shorter than the Best Novelette Hugo category.
