The Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Lead Performance is an award given annually by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. It was first introduced in 2022, after it was announced that the four acting categories would be retired and replaced with two gender neutral categories, with both Best Actor and Best Actress merging into the Best Lead Performance category. Two awards for Best Lead Performance and two awards for Best Supporting Performance, each with two winners and two runners-up, are handed out.
