# Daytime Emmy Award voor beste mannelijke hoofdrol in een dramaserie

De Daytime Emmy Award voor beste mannelijke hoofdrol in een dramaserie (Engels: Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series) is een televisieprijs die sinds 1974 elk jaar wordt uitgereikt door de NATAS en ATAS. De prijs is voor een acteur die een buitengewone acteerprestatie geleverd heeft in een hoofdrol van een soapserie die overdag uitgezonden wordt.
De eerste ceremonie werd gehouden in 1974 en werd gewonnen door Macdonald Carey voor zijn vertolking van Tom Horton in Days of Our Lives. Aanvankelijk was de prijs voor zowel hoofdrol- als bijrolspelers. Nadat in 1979 de categorie beste mannelijke bijrol toegevoegd werd was deze prijs enkel nog voor acteurs met een hoofdrol. In 1985 werd er ook een categorie toegevoegd voor beste jongere waarvoor acteurs jonger dan 26 in aanmerking kwamen. Met acht overwinningen is Anthony Geary recordhouder voor zijn rol als Luke Spencer in General Hospital.
