De Primetime Emmy Award voor beste vrouwelijke bijrol in een miniserie of televisiefilm (Engels: Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie ) is een televisieprijs die sinds 1975 elk jaar wordt uitgereikt door de Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. De prijs werd voor het eerst uitgereikt in 1975 en werd gewonnen door Juliet Mills. Hiervoor was de prijs ondergebracht in de andere acteercategorieën.
Nadat Ellen Burstyn in 2006 genomineerd werd voor haar rol in Mrs. Harris kwam er grote kritiek. Zij was slechts 14 seconden in beeld en had een dialoog van 38 woorden. Hierop werden de regels aangepast zodat genomineerden op zijn minst 5% schermtijd moeten krijgen.
Kathy Bates werd zeven keer genomineerd, maar won enkel in 2014.
