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.[1]

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.[2] 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.[3][4]

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.
