The British Academy Television Craft Award for Best Editing: Factual is one of the categories presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) within the British Academy Television Craft Awards, the craft awards were established in 2000 with their own, separate ceremony as a way to spotlight technical achievements, without being overshadowed by the main production categories.

Before splitting into two categories for editing in 1992, Best Editing: Factual and Best Editing: Fiction (presented from 1992 to 1994 as Best Film or Video Editor – Factual and Best Film or Video Editor – Fiction respectively), two categories were presented to recognize editing in television programming:
