The Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical was an award presented annually at the Lucille Lortel Awards to honor an actor for excellence in a featured role in an Off-Broadway musical production. This category was added in 2014, as the awards were split into Outstanding Featured Actor in a Play and Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical, before being retired in favor of gender-neutral categories in 2021.[3][4]
Several musical performers won or received nominations for the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Featured Actor before it was split in 2014. Dan Fogler is the only musical winner in the previous category in 2005 for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, while musical nominees include Tyler Maynard (2005 nominee for Altar Boyz), and Aaron Tveit (2008 nominee for Next to Normal).
