The National Film Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (known as National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor prior to 69th NFA) is an honour presented annually at India's National Film Awards ceremony by the National Film Development Corporation of India (NFDC), an organisation set up by the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.[1] A national panel appointed annually by the NFDC selects the actor who has given the best performance in a supporting role within Indian cinema.[1] The award is presented by the President of India at a ceremony held in New Delhi.[2] Since the 70th National Film Awards, the name was changed to "Best Actor in a Supporting Role".[3]

The winner is given a "Rajat Kamal" (Silver Lotus) certificate and a cash prize of . Including ties and repeat winners, the government of India has presented a total of 32 Best Supporting Actor awards to 29 different actors. Although Indian cinema produces films in more than 20 languages,[4] the actors whose performances have won awards have worked in one or more of seven major languages: Hindi (18 awards), Tamil (9 awards), Bengali (3 awards), Malayalam (4 awards), Marathi (3 awards), Telugu (1 award), Kannada (1 award).

The first recipient was Victor Banerjee, who was honoured at the 32nd National Film Awards for his performance in the Bengali film Ghare Baire (1984).[5] As of the 2013 awards, three actors—Nana Patekar, Pankaj Kapur, and Atul Kulkarni—have been honoured twice. Patekar was awarded for the Hindi films (1989) and Agni Sakshi (1996).[6] Kapur received the awards for his work in the Hindi films (1988) and Maqbool (2003).[7] Kulkarni was awarded for his performances in the Tamil / Hindi film Hey Ram (1999) and the Hindi film Chandni Bar (2001).[8] Paresh Rawal and Dilip Prabhavalkar have each won the award for two performances in a single year. Rawal received the award for his starring roles in the Hindi films Woh Chokri (1993) and Sir (1993) at the 41st National Film Awards, while Prabhavalkar won at the 54th National Film Awards for his performances in the Hindi film Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006) and the Marathi film Shevri (2006).[9] At the 42nd National Film Awards, the award was tied between Ashish Vidyarthi and Nagesh, winning for their roles in the Hindi film Drohkaal (1994) and the Tamil film Nammavar (1994), respectively.[10] The most recent recipient of the award is Pavan Malhotra, who was honoured at the 70th National Film Awards ceremony for his performance in the film Fouja (2022). Nana Patekar, Mithun Chakraborty, Naseeruddin Shah, Prakash Raj and Manoj Bajpayee are the actors to receive honours in both acting categories: Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.
