This is a list of the British Academy Television Award for Best Supporting Actress. The British Academy Television Awards (BAFTA TV Awards) were first presented in 1954. They are the UK equivalent to the Emmy Awards in the United States. From 1954 to 1997, film and television awards were presented at one ceremony. Since 1998, two separate ceremonies have been held.

The awards for Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor were first presented at the 2010 ceremony.

The first winner of this award was Rebecca Hall for her performance as Paula Garland in the Channel 4 limited series Red Riding 1974 (2010). The most recent winner was Jasmine Jobson for her role in the series Top Boy on Netflix.

Monica Dolan, Jasmine Jobson and Lesley Manville have the most nominations for this award, with three each.
