Children's and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Performer

The Children's and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Performer in a Preschool, Children's or Young Teen Program is an award that honors performances in both television series and made-for-television/streaming films.

The category was established at the 1st Children's and Family Emmy Awards in 2022 and is open to performers of all genders.

The current holder of the award is Adeel Akhtar, who won the 2nd Children's and Family Emmy Awards for his role as the titular Dr. Aditya Singh in Netflix fantasy series Sweet Tooth.

The organization cited an "explosive growth in the quantity and quality of children’s and family programming" as justification for a dedicated ceremony.

The original name for the category was Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Preschool, Children's or Young Teen Program, and the award received its current name as of the 3rd Children's and Family Emmy Awards.
