The Filmfare Best Villain Award is given by Filmfare as part of its annual Filmfare Awards for Hindi films, to recognise an actor who had delivered an outstanding performance in a negative role.
Although the awards started in 1954, this category was not introduced until 1992. It has been marked as obsolete since 2007.
