The Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host was an award presented annually by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) and Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS).

The award was given in honor of a talk show host that was in the informative nature.

It was awarded from the 42nd Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony, held in 2015, to the 49th Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony, held in 2022.

During this period, the generic Outstanding Talk Show Host category was split into two specific categories: this award and Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host.
