The Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Actress is an award given out at the annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards. The awards are presented by the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and was first presented in 1995. There were no official nominees announced until 2001. There are currently six nominees annually and there have been three ties in this category (2008, 2009, 2018). Cate Blanchett, Frances McDormand, Julianne Moore, Natalie Portman, Meryl Streep and Hilary Swank are the only actresses who have received this award more than once, with two wins each.

This is the main Best Actress award for leading performances by an actress, previously two other genre-specific categories were presented, Best Actress in a Comedy (from 2012 to 2019) and Best Actress in an Action Movie (from 2012 to 2016).

For the Supporting Actress category, see Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Supporting Actress.
