De Primetime Emmy Award voor beste vrouwelijke bijrol in een dramaserie (Engels: Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series) is een televisieprijs die sinds 1954 elk jaar wordt uitgereikt door de Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Vanaf 1970 is de prijs enkel voor een vrouwelijke bijrol in een dramaserie, daarvoor maakten actrices ook kans op de prijs als ze in een miniserie of televisiefilm speelden, of enkel een gastoptreden maakten. Ook was er in de begindagen geen onderscheid tussen komedie- of dramaseries, behalve in 1959 en van 1966 tot 1968. In 1962, 1963, 1964 en 1969 ging de prijs naar een actrice uit een dramaserie, de andere jaren won telkens een actrice uit een komedieserie.
