The Silver Logie for Most Outstanding Drama Series is an award presented annually at the Australian TV Week Logie Awards. The award is given to recognise an outstanding Australian drama series. The winner and nominees of this award are chosen by television industry juries.[1]

It was first awarded at the 3rd Annual TV Week Logie Awards ceremony, held in 1961 as Best Australian Drama.[2] The award was renamed many times in subsequent ceremonies; Best Australian TV Drama Series (1962),[3] Best Drama (1963, 1966–1967),[3][4] Best Australian Drama Series (1965, 1970),[3][5] Best Drama Series (1968),[4] and Best Drama Show (1969).[4] This award category was eliminated in 1977.

At the 33rd Annual TV Week Logie Awards in 1991, an industry voted award for drama returned, originally called Most Outstanding Single Drama or Miniseries.[6] It has also been known as Most Outstanding Series (1992–1993, 1998),[6] Most Outstanding Achievement in Drama Production (1994–1997)[7] and Most Outstanding Drama Series, Miniseries or Telemovie (2007–2012).[8] It has been known as the Most Outstanding Drama Series since 2013.[9]
