The Brit Award for British Dance Act is an award given by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), an organisation which represents record companies and artists in the United Kingdom.[1] The accolade was presented at the Brit Awards, an annual celebration of British and international music.[2] The winners and nominees were determined by the Brit Awards voting academy with over one-thousand members comprising record labels, publishers, managers, agents, media, and previous winners and nominees.[3]

The inaugural recipients of the award are M People, who won consecutively in 1994 and 1995. Fatboy Slim was the first solo act to win the category in 2000 and is one of five acts to have won the award twice, alongside M People, The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx and Becky Hill. Jamiroquai hold the record for most nominations without a win, with six. The current holder of the award is Calvin Harris, who won in 2024.
