Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Play

The Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Play was an award presented annually at the Lucille Lortel Awards to honor an actor for excellence in a leading role in an Off-Broadway production. The categories were split into Outstanding Lead Actor in a Play and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Musical in 2014. The acting categories were made gender-neutral in 2021.

Ron Rifkin is the only performer to have won the award twice, from two nominations. Several musical performers won or received nominations in this category before it was split. Musical winners include Boyd Gaines (2000 for Contact) and Joel Hatch (2008 for The Adding Machine), and nominees include Deven May (2001 for Bat Boy: The Musical), Norbert Leo Butz (2002 for The Last Five Years), Hunter Foster (also 2002 for Urinetown) and Josh Grisetti and Sahr Ngaujah (both 2009 for Enter Laughing The Musical and Fela! respectively).
