The Best Current Affairs Presenter is an award presented annually at the Star Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1994.

The award is given in honour of a Mediacorp presenter who has delivered an outstanding performance in a current affairs 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.
