Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (Half-Hour)

The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (Half-Hour) is an annual award presented as part of the Primetime Emmy Awards. It was created as Outstanding Cinematography for a Half-Hour Series, incorporating single and multi-camera programs, in 2008 alongside Outstanding Cinematography for a One-Hour Series. From 2011 to 2016, the awards were combined as Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series. The categories were divided again between 2017 and 2022. In 2023, the category was renamed Outstanding Cinematography for a Series (Half-Hour), combined with Outstanding Cinematography for a Multi-Camera Series. In 2024, they split again.

2010s
Between 2011-2016, half-hour and one-hour series were both eligible for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series. No half-hour series were nominated during these years.
