Golden Reel Award for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Dialogue and ADR for Episodic Short Form Broadcast Media

The Golden Reel Award for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Dialogue and ADR for Episodic Short Form Broadcast Media is an annual award given by the Motion Picture Sound Editors, honoring sound editors whose work has warranted merit in field of television automated dialogue replacement (ADR) in short form broadcast media.

The "short form" of the title refers to television episodes with runtimes of less than an hour and more than 35 minutes. Other episodes now have their own category. It was first awarded in 1998, for episodes premiering the previous year, under the title Best Sound Editing – Television Episodic – Dialogue & ADR. The term "short form" was added to the category in 2005, though long-form television had had its own category by then. The award has been given with its current title since 2018.
