The Canadian Screen Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series or Program is an annual
Canadian television award, presented by the
Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television to the best supporting performance by an actress in a Canadian dramatic television series or television film. Previously presented as part of the
Gemini Awards, since 2013 it has been presented as part of the
Canadian Screen Awards.
Originally, only a single award for supporting actress was presented, without regard to the distinction between series, miniseries or television films. At the
10th Gemini Awards in 1995, separate awards were instituted for supporting actress in a television series and supporting actress in a television film or miniseries; the separate awards were presented until the Gemini Awards were merged into the Canadian Screen Awards, and since the
1st Canadian Screen Awards in 2012 there has again only been a single category presented for all three types of content.
