# MTV Video Music Award para Melhor Vídeo Feminino

O MTV Video Music Award (VMA) para Melhor Vídeo Musical Feminino (do original em inglês, MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video) foi concedido pela primeira vez em 1984. Em 2007, no entanto, o prêmio foi renomeado como Artista Feminina do Ano e premiou todo o trabalho de artistas femininas publicados no período de um ano antes da realização da edição, ao invés de um vídeo específico. No ano seguinte, porém, o prêmio voltou à sua nomenclatura original. A categoria seria extinta a partir da cerimônia de 2017, depois que as categorias específicas de gênero foram incorporadas à categoria Artista do Ano.
Madonna, Taylor Swift e Beyoncé são as maiores vencedoras da categoria, com três vitórias cada uma, enquanto a primeira também detém a marca recorde de 12 indicações. Paralelamente, Beyoncé, Kelly Clarkson e Lady Gaga são as únicas artistas a vencer a categoria em duas edições consecutivas. Janet Jackson venceu o prêmio em duas ocasiões.
