The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program is handed out annually at the Creative Arts Emmy Award ceremony.

In 2014, Outstanding Reality Program was separated into two categories – Outstanding Structured Reality Program and Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program. The category of "unstructured reality program" is defined as consisting of reality shows that "contain story elements driven by the actions of characters and lacking a consistent structured template."
