The Kerala State Television Award for Best Actress is an honour presented annually at the Kerala State Television Awards of India to an actress 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. The 2016 ceremony was the only occasion when the category was tied; Shafna and Sruthi Lakshmi shared the award for their performances in Sahayathrika, and Pokuveyil respectively.
