Genie Award for Best Performance by a Foreign Actor

The Genie Award for Best Performance by a Foreign Actor was awarded by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television from 1980 to 1983, for the best performance by non-Canadian actor in a Canadian film.

The award was discontinued after the 4th Genie Awards, and non-Canadian actors instead became eligible for the Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role.
