This is a list of winners and nominees of the Children's and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Performer in a Preschool, Children's or Young Teen Program, which honors performances in both television series and made-for-television/streaming films and specials. The category was established at the 1st Children's and Family Emmy Awards in 2022, and is open to lead, supporting and guest performers of all genders who are under the age of 18. The category is a counterpart to the Lead and Supporting categories honoring performers in live action series, and is one of two awards specifically designed to award younger actors, alongside the Younger Voice Performer in an Animated or Preschool Animated Program category.
The current holder of the award is Mykal-Michelle Harris, who won at the 2nd Children's and Family Emmy Awards for her role as Alice Baxter in the Disney Channel series Raven's Home.
