Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

This is a list of winners and nominees of the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. In early Primetime Emmy Award ceremonies, the supporting categories were not always genre-, or even gender-, specific. Beginning with the 22nd Primetime Emmy Awards, supporting actresses in comedy have competed alone. However, these comedic performances often included actors from miniseries, telefilms, and guest performers competing against main cast competitors. Such instances are marked below:


 * # – Indicates a performance in a Miniseries or Television film, prior to the category's creation
 * § – Indicates a performance as a guest performer, prior to the category's creation
