De Daytime Emmy Award voor beste dramaserie is een televisieprijs die sinds 1974 elk jaar wordt uitgereikt. Dit deelde de Emmy Awards op in Primetime (avondprogrammering) en Daytime (overdag). Omdat overdag minder televisie gekeken wordt, kwamen die programma's meestal niet in aanmerking voor een Emmy. Meestal gaat de prijs naar een soapserie. De prijs werd wel al in 1972 en 1973 uitgereikt op de Primetime Emmy Awards aan The Doctors en The Edge of Night.
