The Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television, commonly referred to simply as the Gold Logie, is an award presented annually at the Australian Logie Awards.
Graham Kennedy, a popular TV host, comedian and variety star is the most awarded recipient, having won seven times, but with also winning the 1959 "Star of the Year" award, which is generally thought of as the predecessor of the "Gold Logie"
The Gold Logie was first awarded at the 2nd Annual TV Week Logie Awards, held in 1960. It was briefly renamed Best Personality on Australian Television from 2016 to 2017. For the 2018 ceremony, the award category name was reverted to its current name.
The winner and nominees of the Gold Logie are chosen by the public through an online voting survey on the TV Week website. Gold Logies were awarded for separate male and female categories in 1962, 1967, 1970, 1971, and between 1974 and 1977.
The most represented programs are the drama series Blue Heelers and the variety/talk show Don Lane Show.
