The Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor is an honour, begun in 1969, presented annually at the Kerala State Film Awards of India to an actor for the best performance in a leading role in the Malayalam film industry. Until 1997, the awards were managed directly by the Department of Cultural Affairs of the Government of Kerala. Since 1998, the awards have been controlled by the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy, an autonomous, non-profit institution functioning under the Department of Cultural Affairs.[1] The awardees are decided by an independent jury constituted every year by the Academy.[2] The awards are announced by the Minister for Cinema and are presented by the Chief Minister.[3]

Throughout the years, accounting for ties and repeat winners, the Government of Kerala has presented a total of 49 Best Actor awards to 29 different actors. The recipients receive a figurine, a certificate, and a cash prize that amounts to ₹100000 (US$1,500).[4][5] Several actors have won the award for more than one film in a given year; to date (through 2015), the only actor to have won the award in consecutive years is Bharath Gopi (1982, 1983).

The first Kerala State film Awards ceremony was held in 1970 with Sathyan receiving the award for Kadalpalam (1969). In 1981, Nedumudi Venu received the award for his performance in various films released that year.[lower-alpha 1] As of 2016, Mohanlal is the most honoured actor with six awards, followed by Mammootty with five. Two actors — Bharath Gopi and Murali — have won the award four times. Prithviraj Sukumaran is the youngest recipient of the award at age 24 for Vaasthavam (2006); he replaced Mohanlal, who held this distinction for twenty years from 1986, when, at age 26, he received the award for T. P. Balagopalan M.A. (1986).[8] There were two years when there was a tie for the award — Fahadh Faasil and Lal shared the award in 2013 and Nivin Pauly and Sudev Nair in 2014. Dulquer Salmaan is the most recent winner in this category for his role in Charlie.
