The British Independent Film Award for Best Supporting Performance is an annual award given by the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA). The award was first presented in the 2022 ceremony. Kerrie Hayes was the first recipient of the award for her work in Blue Jean.
From 2008 to 2021, supporting performances were rewarded with two categories separated by gender: Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. The change was made in 2022, creating this category alongside Best Lead Performance and Best Joint Lead Performance.
