This is a list of winners and nominees of the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance.

In 2014, the award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance was separated into two categories – Outstanding Narrator and Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance. As with longform and reality, this split acknowledges and accommodates a general industry uptrend in the distinctly different achievements that are VO narration and VO character performance.{{cite news|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|title=EMMYS: TV Academy Splits Best Miniseries & TV Movie, Reality Program & Voice-Over Categories, Expands Combined Longform Fields To 6 Nominees, Sets Possibility For 7 Best Drama & Comedy Series Nominees|url=https://deadline.com/2014/02/its-official-tv-academy-splits-best-miniseries-tv-movie-category-686953/|access-date=February 21, 2014|website=Deadline Hollywood|date=February 20, 2014}}
