Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television

The Gold Logie Award has been awarded annually to the Most Popular Personality on Australian Television at the TV Week Logie Awards since 1960. Even though it is determined by popular vote, it is considered by some the most prestigious award in the Australian television industry.

• the "TV Week Awards' Star of the Year" award at the inaugural presentation in 1959. This was won by Graham Kennedy, who coined the name "Logie Award" the following year, and it is sometimes counted as a Gold Logie equivalent.
• Gold Logies awarded to inductees into the TV Week Logies' Hall of Fame (since 1984)
