Black Reel Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor, TV Movie or Limited Series

This article lists the winners and nominees for the Black Reel Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series. The category was retired during the 2008 ceremony, but later returned in 2013. In May 2017 the category was moved from the film awards as part of the Black Reel Awards for Television honors thus resulting in two separate winners in 2017.
