The BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film is a film award presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) at the annual British Academy Film Awards. BAFTA is a British organisation that hosts annual awards shows for film, television, and video games (and formerly also for children's film and television).
The original version of the category, introduced in the 1955 ceremony and awarded until the 1982 ceremony, covered both short and feature-length animated films. Subsequently, two separate animation award categories have been used, based on the films' running times: in the 1980s, the BAFTA Award for Best Short Animation was introduced, and in the 2007 ceremony, the Best Animated Film title was re-introduced, now as an award only for feature films.

The dates given below refer to the years in which the films under consideration were released or eligible, not to the years in which the award ceremonies took place. (This differs from the BAFTA website's awards history feature, which uses years based on the award ceremonies' dates.)
