The Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series is an award presented annually by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) and Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS). It is given to honor an actress who has delivered an outstanding performance in a supporting role while working within the daytime drama industry.

At the 6th Daytime Emmy Awards held in 1979, Suzanne Rogers was the first winner of this award, for her role as Maggie Horton on Days of Our Lives . ^{[1] [2]} The awards ceremony was not aired on television in 1983 and 1984, having been criticized for voting integrity. ^{[3] [4]} Following the introduction of a new category in 1985, Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series, one criterion for this category was altered, requiring all actresses to be aged 26 or above. ^[5]

Since its inception, the award has been given to 37 actresses. General Hospital is the soap opera with the most awarded actresses, with a total of nine. In 1989, Nancy Lee Grahn and Debbi Morgan made Daytime Emmy Award history when they tied in this category. Morgan also became the first African-American woman to have garnered the award. Julia Barr, Tamara Braun, Grahn, Amelia Heinle, and Gina Tognoni are the only actresses to have won the award twice. Heinle is the only one to have won it, consecutively. Grahn, Heather Tom and Melissa Claire Egan have the most nominations in this category, with a total of five. As of the 2023 ceremony, Sonya Eddy is the most recent winner in this category for her role as Epiphany Johnson on General Hospital. Following Eddy's passing in December 2022, she also became the category's first posthumous winner.
