The Star Awards for Best Programme Host is an award presented annually at the Star Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1994.
The category was introduced in 2016, at the 22nd Star Awards ceremony; Lee Teng received the award for his performance in Love on the Plate 3 and it is given in honour of a Mediacorp host who has delivered an outstanding performance in a variety show, info-ed or infotainment programme. The nominees are determined by a team of judges employed by Mediacorp; winners are selected by a majority vote from the entire judging panel.
The award combined the previous categories for Best Variety Show Host and Best Info-Ed Programme Host. The restructuring of these categories was a result of the award ceremony organising committee's wish to eliminate the distinctions between variety and info-ed programme hosting performances.
Since its inception, the award has been given to three hosts. Quan Yi Fong is the most recent winner in this category for her performance in Hear U Out S4. Since the ceremony held in 2022, Quan remains as the only host to win in this category five times. In addition, Quan has been nominated nine times (with a double nomination in 2021), more than any other host. Guo Liang holds the record for the most nominations without a win, with six.
‡Dates and years listed for each ceremony were the eligibility period of television in Singapore. For the first 14 ceremonies, the ceremony was held at the end of the year (usually December). Since the 15th ceremony held in 2009, the ceremony was held on April and the period of eligibility became the full previous calendar year, hence no ceremony was held in 2008 due to a format change. No ceremony was held on 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic while nominations for the 2019 calendar year were rolled over to the next ceremony.
