Goya Award for Best Adapted Screenplay
The Goya Award for Best Adapted Screenplay is one of the Goya Awards, Spain's principal national film awards.
For the first two editions of the Goya Awards, only one award for screenplays was presented which included both original and adapted screenplays, with both winners being adaptations, Voyage to Nowhere in 1986 and El Bosque animado in 1987. Since the third edition, two awards are presented separately, Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Rafael Azcona has received this award four times, more than any other nominee, winning for ¡Ay Carmela! with Carlos Saura, Banderas, the Tyrant with José Luis García Sánchez, Butterfly's Tongue with Manuel Rivas and José Luis Cuerda and The Blind Sunflowers with José Luis Cuerda.
