The Golden Eagle Award for Best Television Motion Picture (Russian: Золотой Орёл для лучший игровой телевизионный фильм) is an annually on January awarded category and one of 20 presented by the National Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences of Russia. The ceremony is held at the Mosfilm studios in Moscow, where some of the most acclaimed Soviet features were filmed. The prize, orginally a golden alloyed eagle made from copper and its pedestal from jade, was created by sculptor Viktor Mitroshin, but later altered by the Spanish company Carrera y Carrera. It was instituted by Nikita Mikhalkov as a counterweight to the prestigious Nika Award established in 1987 and given to films produced in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States. The Golden Eagle Award is often described as the Russian Golden Globe and the Nika Award as the Russian Academy Award.

Each year the members of the academy choose three nominees. The nominees are all television films and were directly released for televisions. Therefore it hasn't got any international title and the list below shows only the Russian title. The category excludes motion pictures and documentations, which have their own category. The first film to be awarded was Spetsnaz. In the years 2004 and 2005 the category was not promoted. Since 2006 the title was changed to Golden Eagle Award for Best Telefilm or Mini-Series (up to 10 series). The category includes mini-series, which were awarded in 2004 and 2005 in a separate category, as well as telefilms. However, since then only mini-series were awarded and telefilms were not. The most recent award was made to Беребное Воскресенье, awarded in 2010.
