The Annie Award for Best General Audience Animated Television Broadcast Production is an Annie Award, awarded annually to the best adult animated television/broadcasting productions.

The categories for television/broadcasting productions have gone through several name changes and divisions:

• From 1992 to 1997, there was only one award named Best Animated Television Program
• In 1998, the award was split into two categories, Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Daytime Television Program and Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Primetime or Late Night Television Program, but was eventually combined into one category again.
• In 2001, the award received an offshoot category, the Best Animated Television Production for Children award, though the category was not presented regularly until 2007.
• In 2011, the awards for television productions were split into their current division based on the audience of the program, establishing three categories, Best General Audience Animated Television Production, Best Animated Television Production for Children and Best Animated Television Production for Preschool.
