The Goya Award for Best New Actress (Spanish: Premio Goya a la mejor actriz revelación) is one of the Goya Awards, Spain's principal national film awards.

Since its inception, the award has been given to 30 actresses. At the 9th Goya Awards ceremony held in 1995, Ruth Gabriel was the first winner of this award for her role in Running Out of Time. Since the 26th edition (2011) to be a candidate in any acting category, the only condition is to be over 16 years of age. Before that edition, four actresses under 16 years of age won the award: Ivana Baquero, Nerea Camacho, Marina Comas and María Valverde. Benedicta Sánchez is the oldest winner at the age of 84 for her role in Fire Will Come.

For the 39th ceremony, the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain introduced a modification consisting of the requirement of an authorization signed by the actress accepting her participation in the Goya Awards.^[1]

The only actress who has won Goya awards in all three acting categories (best new actress, best actress, best supporting actress) is Laia Marull.

As of the 2024 ceremony, Janet Novás is the most recent winner in this category for her role as María in The Rye Horn.
