The AARP Movies for Grownups Award for Best TV Movie/Limited Series was one of the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards presented annually by the AARP. The award honored the best television movie or limited series in a given year made by or featuring artists over the age of 50.
The first television award given by AARP was titled Best TV Movie, and was given to Hell on Heels: The Battle of Mary Kay in 2003. The category was discontinued after 2006 before returning with its current name in 2021 as part of a slate of four television awards, alongside Best Series, Best Actress, and Best Actor.
Starting with the 23rd AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, the Best TV Series and Best TV Movie/Limited Series categories were retired and combined into Best TV Series or Limited Series.
