The Saturn Award for Best Animated Series on Television (formerly Saturn Award for Best Animated Series or Film on Television) is one of the annual awards given by the American Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. The Saturn Awards are the oldest film and series-specialized awards to reward science fiction, fantasy, and horror achievements.
Included as a category for the first time at the 43rd Saturn Awards ceremony, when the Saturn Awards went through major changes in their television categories, it specifically rewarded animated series or films on television. Beginning with the 45th Saturn Awards, the category had its title changed, focusing solely on animated shows. Since its inception, the category has been exclusively won by Star Wars shows. To date, Rebels and The Bad Batch are the only shows to win the award twice.
