The Canadian Screen Award for Best Lead Performance in a Comedy Series is an annual award, presented by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television as part of the Canadian Screen Awards program, to honour the best supporting performance in a Canadian television comedy series.
It is a merger of the former awards for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series and Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, following the academy's announcement in August 2022 that it would start presenting gender-neutral acting awards instead of gendered ones.Joseph Pugh, "Canadian Screen Awards switching to gender-neutral performance categories".
