The Best Current Affairs Presenter is an award presented annually at the Star Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1994.

The category was introduced in 2010, at the 16th Star Awards ceremony; Chun Guek Lay received the award for her performance in Focus and it is given in honour of a MediaCorp presenter who has delivered an outstanding performance in a current affairs programme. It was introduced as a result of the discontinuation of the Best News/Current Affairs Presenter award, in order to create the distinctions between news presenters and current affairs presenters. The nominees are determined by a team of judges employed by MediaCorp; winners are selected by a majority vote from the entire judging panel.

Since its inception, the award has been given to three presenters. Chun and Tung Soo Hua were the most recent winners for their performances in Focus and Money Week respectively. Since the ceremony held in 2013, Chun is also the only presenter to win in this category three times, surpassing Tung who has two wins. In addition, all five presenters were nominated for the same programmes they represented for four times. Desmond Lim and Lim Yi Chyi also hold the record for the most nominations without a win.

The award was not presented from 2014 to 2016 due to the lack of eligible nominees.
