The Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Award for Best Actress in a Drama is an award presented annually by Multichoice. It has been awarded since the 1st Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards to an actress who has delivered an outstanding performance in a leading role in an African drama film.

The first Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Award ceremony was held in 2013 with Jackie Appiah receiving the award for The Perfect Picture (2009). In 2015, Bankole received the honour again for her performance in October 1. As of 2024, Kehinde Bankole and Osas Ighodaro are the most honoured actresses with two awards each.[1] The recent winner is Kehinde Bankole for Adire (2023).
