Best Actress in a Supporting Role is a British Academy Film Award presented annually by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) to recognize an actress who has delivered an outstanding supporting performance in a film.
This award began in 1968 and had four nominees until 1999 when expanded to five nominees. There has been one tie in this category. No award in supporting categories was presented in 1980. In 1981, the award was given out without gender differentiation for Best Supporting Artist—the only time this has occurred; all four selected nominees that year were male.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), is a British organisation that hosts annual awards shows for film, television, children's film and television, and interactive media. Since 1968, selected actresses have been awarded with the BAFTA award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role at an annual ceremony.
In the following lists, the titles and names in bold with a gold background are the winners and recipients respectively; those not in bold are the nominees. The years given are those in which the films under consideration were released, not the year of the ceremony, which always takes place the following year.
