The BAFTA Award for Best Animation (also known as BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film) is a retired film award presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) at the annual British Academy Film Awards. BAFTA is a British organisation that hosts annual awards shows for film, television, and video games (and formerly also for children's film and television).

Introduced in the 1955 ceremony and awarded until the 1982 ceremony, the category covered both short and feature-length animated films. Subsequently, separate awards were introduced based on the films' running times: the BAFTA Award for Best Short Animation, and the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film (the latter introduced in the 2007 ceremony).
