This is a list of winners and nominees of the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series and Outstanding Guest Supporting Actor. Prior to 1989, the category was not gender specific, thus was called Outstanding Guest Performer in a Drama Series. These awards, like the other "Guest" awards, are not presented at the Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony, but rather at the Creative Arts Emmy Award ceremony.
