Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program

This is a list of winners of the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program. The award was presented between 1995 and 2021. It recognized a continuing or single voice-over performance in a series or special. The performance generally originated from a Children's Animated, Special Class Animated Program.

The youngest nominee in this category was Danica Lee, who was first nominated in 2007 at age 10 and again in 2008 at age 11.

In November 2021, it was announced that all Daytime Emmy categories honoring children's programming would be retired. This category in particular was broadened to three separate categories at the Children's & Family Emmy Awards beginning in 2022: Outstanding Voice Performance in a Preschool Animated Program, Outstanding Voice Performance in an Animated Program and Outstanding Younger Voice Performer in an Animated or Preschool Animated Program.
