The Dora Mavor Moore Award for Best Leading Performer (General Theatre) is an annual Canadian theatre award, presented as part of the Dora Mavor Moore Awards to honour the year's best performance in a leading role in a stage production in the Toronto theatre market.
At the first awards in 1980, a single ungendered category was presented, with two winners. The following year, separate awards were presented for Best Leading Actor and Best Leading Actress, which remained in place until TAPA announced in 2018 that they would return to presenting ungendered acting categories.[1]
