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 in the United States. It honors sound editors whose work has warranted merit in the field of television; in this case, their work in the field of sound effects and Foley work in short form broadcast media. The "short form" of the title refers to television episodes that have a runtime of less than one hour, though more than 35 minutes, as those episodes have their own category. It was first awarded in 1998, for episodes premiering the previous year, under the title Best Sound Editing - Television Episodic - Effects & Foley. 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 existing title since 2018.
