Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program

The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program is handed out annually at the Creative Arts Emmy Award ceremony.

In 2014, Outstanding Reality Program was separated into two categories – Outstanding Structured Reality Program and Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program. The category of "unstructured reality program" is defined as consisting of reality shows that "contain story elements driven by the actions of characters and lacking a consistent structured template."

In the following list, the first titles listed in gold are the winners; those not in gold are nominees, which are listed in alphabetical order. The years given are those in which the ceremonies took place:
