The '''Kerala State Television Award for Best Actor''' is an honour presented annually at the '''Kerala State Television Awards''' of India to an actor for the best performance in a leading role in a Malayalam telefilm or serial. Until 1997, the awards were managed directly by the Department of Cultural Affairs, [[Government of Kerala]]. Since 1998, the [[Kerala State Chalachitra Academy]], an autonomous non-profit organisation functioning under the Department of Cultural Affairs, has been exercising control over the awards.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Thiruvananthapuram/state-tv-awards-declared/article23662389.ece|title=State TV awards declared|newspaper=The Hindu|date=25 April 2018}}</ref>
